Stockton, CA - Today, the San Joaquin County Board of Supervisors heard a staff report and approved a 5-year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) for fiscal years 2023/2024 - 2027/2028.

The CIP is the County's plan for new building construction, property acquisition, capital improvement, and park improvement projects over the next five fiscal years. The proposed 2023-2024 through 2027-2028 CIP expenditures total approximately $425 million, including new construction and facility planning projects as well as for existing facilities and parks improvements.

County staff overviewed several major accomplishments in the 2022-2023 fiscal year including:

• Completion of the new Public Health Facility.
• Approval from the State to begin construction of the County Detention and Program Facility.
• Substantial completion of the Jail Central Controls Upgrade.
• Continued progress on the Adult Residential Treatment Modular Campus for completion in Fall 2023.
• Construction commenced on the 6 S. Eldorado Tenant Improvement & Renovation Project for tentative completion in December 2024.
• Marketplace phase to construct an Emergency Medical Services facility, a Sheriff's Office training facility, a Sheriff's Office evidence building, a Sheriff's Office Inmate Vocational Classroom Project, and a new morgue facility.

Looking to the next five years, there are 16 projects totaling $341.3 million slated for new construction and facilities planning and an additional $83.74 million for existing facilities and parks improvements, including:

• Three construction projects for Health Care Services, the morgue replacement, the Emergency Medical Services replacement facility and warehouse, and a replacement of the 420 S. Wilson Way facility which will house Public Health Services operations.

• Multiple tenant improvement and renovation projects including upgrades to 6 S. El Dorado (In Shape building) for the District Attorney, demolition of the old courthouse, architecture and engineering efforts for the Law & Justice Center, preliminary design for development of a South County park, and new facilities for the Lovelace Transfer Station, the Hazelton Complex, Office of Emergency Services, and the Registrar of Voters.
• ARPA funded Parks improvements, roof and siding replacement for a Behavioral Health Services facility, and the final phase of upgrading the jail central control system.

“The CIP is a useful tool for documenting project priorities, managing fund resources, making budget recommendations, providing schedules, and establishing staffing levels for project management,” said Supervisor Robert Rickman, Chair of the San Joaquin County Board of Supervisors. “The approved projects are necessary improvements for the health and welfare of County staff, our residents, and the services we provide. We are looking forward to seeing these important upgrades completed and thank all those who worked diligently to compile the information available in this plan.”
