SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATIONS
Approve the Final 2018/2019 Facilities Five-Year Work Plan
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Florida Statute requires each school district to develop and approve a district five-year capital outlay work plan.  The plan must include a schedule of all major repairs, renovations and new construction projects planned and include information about class size and the use of portable classrooms in the school district.  The capital outlay revenues of the district must also be projected.  The Capital Outlay Full Time Equivalent (COFTE) projections are provided by the Florida Department of Education (FDOE) based upon cohort projections from the annual live birth rates within the county.  As required by our interlocal agreements with the local governments, after the tentative work plan was approved by the Board on July 17, 2018, the work plan was reviewed and discussed with other public agencies, including Hillsborough County, the Planning Commission and the cities of Tampa, Plant City and Temple Terrace.  The Planning Commission reviewed the plan on September 10, 2018, for a finding of consistency with the comprehensive plan.  Comments received from the reviewing agencies have been attached and are found following the plan document (pages 56-74).  The attached work plan is presented in the Department of Education format and has been updated from the tentative plan to reflect the most current information available. Projects shown on the final plan have changed to reflect the increase of $111,266 in the projected Public Education Capital Outlay (PECO) funds allocated after the completion of the tentative plan for a total of $3,547,878.     As a quick reference, attached (pages 3-13) is a listing showing the individual projects and revenues included in the work plan.
STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES
• Engage and communicate with families and stakeholders • Continuously improve processes and systems • Establish a strong foundation of financial stewardship
FINANCIAL IMPACT (Budgeted:  Yes)
The plan identifies $220,189,928 in funded maintenance and major repair/construction projects.  An additional $179,685,875 in new student capacity construction projects is identified.  Funding for new capacity projects will be derived from impact fee collections and include: a classroom addition at Robinson High School; new Elementary “D” and “E” schools; the new High School “TTT”; a new K-8; and a partially funded new High School.  All of the proposed unfunded renovation, remodeling, and maintenance projects in the next 5 years total $1,070,379,264.  Debt, buses and other capital expenditures total $624,012,718 for a total 5 year plan amount of $1,023,888,521.
