Operating Expense Assumptions

The Operating Expense assumptions include an annual increase in personnel costs and
operating costs of approximately 3-5%. New positions will be evaluated based on
building permit activity and related population growth. The Capital Improvement
Program has been structured to add infrastructure improvements annually with minimal
impact on operating cost and debt ratios. The Strategic Plan is structured to provide:

• Operating expense growth based on population growth and development
requirements.

• Increased staffing, primarily in Public Safety.

• Annual increases in operating costs including utilities, fuel, and supplies.

• The addition of new positions based on population growth related to residential
building permit activity.
