2020-21 PROPOSED BUDGET
CAPITAL AND INFRASTRUCTURE FUNDING POLICY
FINANCIAL POLICY
Pursuant to the City's Financial Policies, the City shall make adequate investments to maintain real property and equipment at
appropriate levels (Fiscal Policy No. 37). This policy, adopted in January 2020, replaced a longstanding policy that states that, to
the extent possible, the City shall annually budget one percent of General Fund revenue to fund capital or infrastructure
improvements. Both policies recognize the importance of maintaining the City's capital assets on a regular basis to avoid major
deferred maintenance and to extend the useful life of the asset. There is a proposal pending before the City Council to revise the
Capital Improvement Program Funding Policy. That proposal would establish, to the extent possible, an annual minimum
investment target of 1.5 percent of the General Fund revenue for City's new capital projects, maintenance of existing assets, and
information technology improvements starting in 2021-22. The one percent target remains an appropriate benchmark in the interim.
The Mayor's Proposed Budget provides $7.77 million in base-level funding from the General Fund for the Capital Improvement
Expenditure Program (CIEP) Municipal Facilities (MF). An amount of $27.93 million is provided for other infrastructure
expenditures. The total capital infrastructure appropriation is $35.7 million or 0.53 percent of the General Fund.
