Capital Improvement Program in Montgomery County
The County's Capital Improvement Program (CIP) is a five-year plan that prioritizes and provides a
funding mechanism for large-scale capital infrastructure improvements in the County. These
improvements include significant upgrades to existing infrastructure and facilities and/or the
addition of new infrastructure and facilities. In order to qualify as a capital improvement, a project
must have a useful life of five years or more and cost at least $50,000. Montgomery County's CIP is
an integral part of the County's overall budget.
The CIP process begins each summer when departments are asked to update current capital
projects and identify potential capital project needs. Department submissions are collaboratively
evaluated and prioritized by a Technical Review Committee which includes staff from Finance,
General Services, Information Technology, Public Safety, Planning, Management and Budget, County
Administration, and the Schools. Funding requests are evaluated and prioritized using criteria that
include the County’s goals and need, public health and safety concerns, projects already underway,
percent of the population served, potential funding, and mandated improvements to County
infrastructure. Projects are selected for inclusion in the CIP based on the prioritization and the
available funding.
The CIP is then presented to the County Board of Supervisors (BOS) for consideration. During the
winter of each year, work sessions and public hearings are held with the Planning Commission and
the BOS as part of the annual budget process. In late April, the BOS considers and adopts a capital
budget for the upcoming fiscal year and a capital plan for five fiscal years.
Financing of capital projects
There are two primary methods of financing the construction costs for capital improvements:
(1) Debt financing – Under debt financing, the locality sells municipal bonds to finance the
debt. The type of bonds sold can be General Obligation Bonds which are backed by the
full faith and taxing authority of the government or Revenue Bonds which are supported
by a revenue source from a specific project.
(2) Cash-to-capital financing – Under cash-to-capital financing the locality uses direct cash
contributions for capital projects. Cash-to-capital contributions are one-time funds that
are used directly for construction.
In addition to construction costs, the County must also pay for the operating costs of new capital
projects. Operating costs include debt service costs, facility maintenance costs, and program costs.
Operating costs vary depending on the type of facility and/or infrastructure constructed. These costs
are included in the County's operating budget.
Decisions concerning the type of financing are made based on the costs of the project, current and
future debt obligations, yearly operating costs and the County's General Fund Balance. On the next
two pages is a listing of the County's Capital Improvement and Debt Policies.
APPROVED FY 2024 - 2028 Capital Improvement Program
2
Capital improvement budget policies
1. The County will consider all capital improvements in accordance with an adopted capital
improvement program.
2. The County will develop a five-year plan for capital improvements and update each annually.
3. The County will enact an annual capital budget based on the five-year capital improvement
plan. Future capital expenditures necessitated by changes in population, changes in real
estate development, or changes in economic base will be calculated and included in capital
budget projections.
4. The County will coordinate development of the capital improvement budget with
development of the operating budget. Future operating costs associated with new capital
improvements will be projected and included in operating budget forecasts.
5. The County will use intergovernmental assistance to finance only those capital improvements
that are consistent with the capital improvement plan and County priorities, and whose
operating and maintenance costs have been included in operating budget forecasts.
6. The County will maintain all its assets at a level adequate to protect the County’s capital
investment and to minimize future maintenance and replacement costs.
7. The County will project its equipment replacement and maintenance needs for the next
several years and will update this projection each year. From this projection a maintenance
and replacement schedule will be developed and followed.
8. The County will identify the estimated costs and potential funding sources for each capital
project proposal before it is submitted for approval.
9. The County will attempt to determine the least costly financing method for all new projects.
APPROVED FY 2024 - 2028 Capital Improvement Program
3
Debt policies
1. The County will confine long-term borrowing to capital improvement or projects that cannot
be financed from current revenues except where approved justification is provided.
2. When the County finances capital improvements or other projects by issuing bonds or
entering into capital leases, it will repay the debt within a period not to exceed the expected
useful life of the project.
3. Net debt as a percentage of estimated market value of taxable property should strive to be
below 3.0% but not exceed 4.0%.
4. The ratio of debt service expenditures as a percent of governmental fund expenditures
(General Fund plus School Operating Fund expenditures less the General Fund transfer to
the School Operating Fund) should strive to be below 10% but not exceed 12%.
5. The County will review the 10-year tax supported debt and lease payout ratio on an annual
basis, and intends to maintain the ratio at 60% over a five-year period, with the ratio being no
less than 55% in any one year during the period.
6. The County recognizes the importance of underlying and overlapping debt in analyzing
financial condition. The County will regularly analyze total indebtedness including underlying
and overlapping debt.
7. Where feasible, the County will explore the usage of special assessment, revenue, or other
self-supporting bonds instead of general obligation bonds.
8. The County will retire tax anticipation debt, if any, annually and will retire bond anticipation
debt within six months after completion of the project.
9. On all General Fund support, debt-financed projects, the County will attempt to make a down
payment of at least 5% of total project costs in the aggregate from current resources. The
long-term goal is to annually designate a portion of General Fund cash for one-time capital
projects.

Magistrate and Court Services Facility with Sally Port
Total Project Cost: $5.8M
Project Status:
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This project will provide a new facility for the Magistrate’s Office and Court Services. A thorough
programmatic study was performed in the Fall of 2022 (FY 23) to determine space and operational
requirements for both functions. The result of the study showed that new space is warranted to
safely and efficiently operate the necessary services provided by the Magistrate and Court Services.
Utilization of the area between the Jail and First Street would also offer an opportunity to position the
Magistrate function adjacent to the jail.
The proposed building would be a single-story structure providing offices, customer service areas,
and conference rooms designed to accommodate growth and meet all ADA accessibility
requirements. This project also increases the safety for officers transporting prisoners to the jail as
well as the community by the addition of a functional, enclosed sally port. The sally port will be
fenced with a roof and roll up style doors, but will not be conditioned space.
The former Sheriff’s Office will be demolished, and along with the former Phlegar building area will
become a new parking area that will more closely serve employees reporting to and the citizens
visiting the Public Safety building.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
• The relocation of the Magistrate’s Office would save over $80,000 per year in rent.
• The sale of the building housing the Court Services unit would generate proceeds from its
sale, and the property would become taxable.

Christiansburg Library Renovations
Total Project Cost: $9.5M
Project Status: Continuing
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The renovation and expansion of Christiansburg Library will increase square footage from 15,100 to
31,954 and provide a modern, flexible platform for library service to residents of Christiansburg and
the surrounding communities. The current 37-year-old facility is no longer adequate and its systems
are dated and frequently fail. The new Christiansburg Library will provide a durable, modern building
which will be a community resource and an anchor for activity, education, and culture in the
downtown Christiansburg area.
Christiansburg Library serves as the primary library for Christiansburg as well as the Riner and Pilot
communities. The service area population of Christiansburg is 37,424 (Census 2020).
Christiansburg Library also houses Montgomery Floyd Regional Library’s administrative and technical
services operations. From 2015 – 2019, Christiansburg served an average of 124,905 visitors
annually with 201,721 items loaned.
A renovated facility will accommodate growth in demand and population, emerging library services
such as maker and robotics labs, children’s STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) area,
media lab, a computer classroom, and RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) materials management;
it would also meet patron’s current expectations for public internet access, study spaces, community
meeting spaces, teen services, children’s programming, excellent library collections, and high-quality
in person service.
