Fully implement the Essential Public Facilities policies of the Land Use Element. CF 1.12 Funding for the City's water and sewer facilities shall be paid for primarily by users, except in unusual circumstances where the public benefit may justify the use of general funds. Drainage improvements and facilities shall be funded by the City Stormwater Utility which, as an Island-wide utility, may be supplemented by general revenue. Improvements in the City s water and sewer facilities are paid for by the users of those facilities. Funding for drainage improvements are typically supplemented by general funds because of the backlog and potential life-threatening nature of drainage problems.
LIDs are also the preferred method of funding projects with limited beneficiaries.
The 1999 and 2000 six-year Capital Facilities Plan contained all projects recommended in the Winslow Master Plan capital recommendations. A general obligation bond has provided funding for most of the projects. However, the management and scheduling of multiple capital projects in a short period of time has proved unwise and some projects have been deferred to later years.
