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. Impact fees offset the amount of funding borrowed in the Street and Utility Construction
               funds.

               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  2022-2023  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.

               Utility improvements in FY 2022-2023 are budgeted at $25,213,123. Impact fees and operating cash from

               supplement funding for these projects.
