CAPITAL PROJECT FUNDS
Capital Projects Funds are used to account for acquisitions of capital assets financed from general
obligation proceeds, revenue bonds, certificates of obligation proceeds, or transfers from other funds.
The Capital Projects Funds include the Street Construction Fund, Utility Construction Fund,
Environmental Services (Drainage) Construction Fund, Building Construction Fund, MPFDC
(Parks) Construction Fund, MEDC (Economic Development) Construction Fund and the Equipment
Replacement Fund.
The Capital Improvement Program is developed to match costs against expenses occurring in
corresponding periods of time whenever possible. 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 Construction funds.
