FUNCTION
The six-year Capital Improvement Program is reviewed annually and revised, if necessary.  The annual review assures 
that the program will be a continuing part of the planning process and that it will be consistent with changing demands
as well as changing patterns of cost and financial resources.  The 2010-2014 Capital Improvement Program anticipates
the following investment in capital projects:
2010 = $53,605,607 2013 = $46,455,853
2011 = $86,762,382 2014 = $73,717,342
2012 = $86,158,899
It has been Common Council policy to allocate general property taxes and operating transfers which amount to about
one-fourth of the total city tax levy for capital improvements and debt service requirements, thus avoiding a "roller-
coaster" effect on the tax levy and saving interest cost on bonded debt.
Certain improvement construction is financed with general obligation improvement bonds which are initially payable
from special assessments.  Improvement construction includes sewer and water construction, streets and street
improvement, curb and gutter, sidewalks, and storm sewer projects.
PROGRAM FOR 2010
As adopted by the Common Council, the 2010 section of the 2010-2014 Capital Improvement Program becomes part
of the budget.  Recommended sources of funding the 2010 Capital Improvement Budget include Federal,
State, and County funds totaling   $  15,110,801 .
The general tax levy for 2010 is $4,963,500 which includes $1,300,000 of tax abatement dollars; compared to
the 2009 tax levy of $4,824,716, which included $1,300,000 of tax abatement dollars.
There are no dollars programmed to be transferred from General Fund Operations.
