E.  Vehicles

                              A motor vehicle is a self-propelled  road vehicle  that is used for the
                              transportation of passengers, or passengers and property. The
                              capitalization amount includes the total purchase price less any applicable
                              discounts and any  ancillary payments required to place the asset in its
                              intended state of operation.

                          F.  Intangible Assets

                              Intangible assets are those that lack physical substance, are non-financial
                              in nature and have an initial useful life extending beyond a single reporting
                              period.  Intangible assets must be identifiable, meaning they  are  either
                              capable of being separated by means of sale, transfer, license or rent, or
                              that they arise from contractual or other legal rights.

                              Intangible  assets acquired or developed by the City could include
                              customized  software, internally  generated software,  works of art  and
                              historical treasures.  Other examples of intangible assets the City may own
                              include water rights, timber rights, patents and trademarks.

                          G.  Construction Work in Progress (CWIP)

                              Construction work in progress represents capitalized costs related to a
                              capital asset that is not yet substantially ready to be placed in service. For
                              construction work in progress assets, no depreciation is recorded until the
                              asset is placed in service. When the asset is placed in service, the asset is
                              reclassified to the correct category and depreciation begins.
                       Capitalization

                          A.  Capitalization Thresholds

                              1.  Land must be capitalized regardless of the value or cost.

                              2.  Buildings must be capitalized regardless of the cost.

                              3.  Infrastructure must be capitalized when the useful life is 3 years or
                                 greater and the cost is $100,000 or more.
