SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATIONS
Approve the 2016/17 Five Year Facilities 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 be submitted to the Florida Department of Education (FDOE) prior to October 1st of each year.  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 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 19, 2016, 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 is scheduled to review the plan on September 12, 2016 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 52-54).   

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 tentative plan have changed to reflect the additional $4,894,472 in Public Education Capital Outlay (PECO) Funds allocated after the completion of the tentative plan.    

As a quick reference, attached (pages 3-11) is a listing showing the individual projects and revenues included in the work plan.

The Plan identifies $198,491,564 in funded maintenance and major repair/construction projects.  An additional $87,900,992 in new student capacity construction projects is identified.  Funding for new capacity projects will be derived from impact fee collections and include: the new Elementary “D”; a classroom addition at Robinson High School; the new Elementary “E”; and partial funding for a new High School.  Debt, buses and other capital expenditures total $525,199,208.  A total of $811,591,764 of revenues and expenditures are outlined in the 5 year plan.  All of the proposed renovation and remodeling projects total $418,153,117 and are unfunded.
