CAPITAL PROJECT FUNDS

               The Capital Improvement Program is developed with the following guidelines whenever possible:

               The Capital Improvement Program is developed to match costs against expenses occurring in
               corresponding periods of time.  In other words, the development and timing of infrastructure
               improvements is crucial to maintaining current and future developments while maintaining or lowering
               debt ratios. Development fees offset the amount of borrowings in the Street and Utility Construction
               funds.  Over the next ten years, it is estimated that roadway impact fees will pay for approximately 10%
               ($10M) of the $100M in street improvements, and water and sewer impact fees will pay for
               approximately 21% ($15M) of the $72M in planned water/sewer improvements.

               The impact of infrastructure improvements on operating and maintenance costs is evaluated and measured
               annually during the budget development process and during revisions to the Long Term Financial Plan.
               Operating and Maintenance cost impacts  in FY 2019-2020  are reflected in  increases  in supply costs,
               staffing increases and in additional service requirements related to expansion of existing facilities, new
               facilities and transmission lines.

               Street and roadway improvements in FY 2019-2020 are budgeted at $14,789,965. Street impact fees will
               be utilized wherever possible to supplement funding for these projects. In FY 2019-2020, the City
               anticipates issuing $11,050,000 in bonds for street improvements as identified by Staff and approved by
               City Council.

               Utility Construction Fund

               Utility improvements in FY 2019-2020 are budgeted at $21,070,008. Impact fees and operating cash from
               prior years will fund these projects. Water & Sewer impact fees will be utilized wherever possible to
               supplement funding for these projects.

               Facility improvements in FY 2019-20 include $12,051,025 for the construction of Fire Station #5, design
