Capital Improvement Plan Review
WE’RE HERE!
Operating Budget Review
Capital Improvement Projects are large, one- time investments like roads, buildings, or major equipment. City departments plan these projects years in advance—sometimes up to 10 years—and review and prioritize the list each year. Because these projects are large, costly, and take time to complete, they require careful planning and coordination.
The operating budget covers the day-to-day costs of running the city, such as technology, park maintenance, and staffing for departments like Police, Fire, and Public Works. These items are prioritized each year based on community needs, department goals, the city’s strategic priorities, and available funding.
