construction to begin at the start of the fiscal year.
This year's budget also includes significant one‐time investments in street and sidewalk
infrastructure of $16.2 million, explored in more detail under Goal 4, and approximately $28.8
million to enhance and maintain our parks and trails, as noted in Goal 1.
The FY 2023‐24 Adopted Budget continues City Council's commitment to cash funding capital
projects whenever possible. This includes nearly $29 million in park improvements, $16.2 million
in street and sidewalk improvements, $4.5 million in facilities improvements, $625,000 in water
system improvements, $250,000 in drainage system improvements and $200,000 in wastewater

million, about 27% will be cash funded.
Looking ahead, the city's Capital Improvements Plan forecasts $109.4 million in city capital
expenditures over the next five years and anticipates issuing $71.9 million in debt, or 65.8%. The
proposed debt includes up to $27 million for street system improvements, $27 million for park
improvements related to the Keller Sports Park, $10.2 million for water system improvements
