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.
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 2024-2025 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. Further details can be found in the Capital Projects section of the budget
document.
