The highest priority projects are those that are currentlyidentified in the FYzz budget or that require action to resolve safety issues or to address poor conditions or immediate need. Reference the key below for a breakout of priorities by fiscal year. The approach assumes that some common identified recurring needs will be covered by a revolving fund to be assigned at the department's discretion. These funds may also be used toward grant matches in some cases. The identified funding is suggested, and there maybe coordination requirements with other departments or granting authorities, etcetera, to align the funding sources and project years.
