BUDGET SUMMARY

Capital Outlay

This classification is for the purchase or investment in items that are more than $10,000
each that have a life of more than five years and that will be capitalized or considered a
long-term asset of the City. The budget for these items fluctuates from year to year based
on identified needs and funding availability. Examples include buildings, furniture,
equipment, and vehicles. Infrastructure projects such as streets and water and sewer
projects are included in this category.

The City plans for these high dollar items through the Capital Improvement Plan
Committee and Capital Outlay Plan Committee process. The end results are the creation
and continual updating of multi-year plans that help identify capital needs and possible
funding sources. The capital expenditures can be found in the Capital Projects and
Capital Outlay Sections of this budget document.
