Expenditures   from this fund include a transfer to the General  Fund equal to one- third of the
              City' s share of the revenue.  This transfer helps offset the amount needed from property
              taxes to support general government operations.  Additionally,  funding is included for the
              airport revenue sharing obligations and equipment replacement funding as mentioned
              previously.   Capital funding for the aquatics park and natatorium improvements and a
              transfer to CIP for future projects are also included.


              The reserve   level for this fund  is $  4, 000, 000 due the reliance on this funding for general
              government operations.

              CAPITAL    IMPROVEMENT        FUNDS


              A separate   Capital  Improvements   Program ( CIP)  has been updated    and will be distributed
              under  separate  cover.   This comprehensive document provides a summary of all funded
              projects detailing project scope,  justification,  funding sources,  future maintenance and
              operating costs,  and expenses to -date.

              Unfunded    projects   are  categorized   as   Priority A,   B,   or  C.   Priority A items  are
              recommended in the upcoming budget year and funding sources have been identified.
              Priority B items are expected to be presented for funding consideration within a two to five
              year window.     Priority C items have been identified,  but will be introduced for funding
              consideration at some time beyond the five year window.  Projects identified as Priority B
              are considered in multi -year financial planning.    This Capital  Improvements     Plan  is fluid
              and will be reviewed and updated annually based on infrastructure needs within the City.
