LOCAL PLANNING COMMISSIONS TO PREPARE AND SUBMIT ANNUALLY CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT
PROGRAMS TO GOVERNING BODY OR OFFICIAL CHARGED WITH PREPARATION OF BUDGET (§
15.2-2239)

A local planning commission may, and at the direction of the governing body
shall, prepare and revise annually a capital improvement program based on the
comprehensive plan of the locality for a period not to exceed the ensuing five
years. The commission shall submit the program annually to the governing body,
or to the chief administrative officer or other official charged with
preparation of the budget for the locality, at such time as it or he shall
direct. The capital improvement program shall include the commission&#8217;s
recommendations, and estimates of cost of the facilities and life cycle costs,
including any road improvement and any transportation improvement the locality
chooses to include in its capital improvement plan and as provided for in the
comprehensive plan, and the means of financing them, to be undertaken in the
ensuing fiscal year and in a period not to exceed the next four years, as the
basis of the capital budget for the locality. In the preparation of its capital
budget recommendations, the commission shall consult with the chief
administrative officer or other executive head of the government of the
locality, the heads of departments and interested citizens and organizations and
shall hold such public hearings as it deems necessary.
		Localities may use value engineering for any capital project. For purposes of
this section, &#8220;value engineering&#8221; has the same meaning as that in §
2.2-1133.
