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.
Street Construction Fund
Street and roadway improvements in FY 2022-2023 are budgeted at $32,026,166. Street impact fees will
be utilized wherever possible to supplement funding for these projects.
Utility Construction Fund
Utility improvements in FY 2022-2023 are budgeted at $25,213,123. 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.
