Capital Improvement Program
The question was raised as to how the funds ae put into
the program.
Mr. Northcraft stated that that dates back, obviously,
pre -1978. There were additional opportunities after '78
because of the large sales tax years we had. In the
last two years, and this year, we have not had that
money, so we've been drawing down on the Capital Im-
provement Fund until the recommendation this year would
draw it under $200,000.
As you know, the Capital Improvement Program is for a 5
year period, and what we're looking at tonight is for
1984 -89. Those projects proposed for 84 -85 fiscal year
are included as part of the operating budget and are
reflected in the summary sheet and also the sheets in
the back of the budget. For the past two years, we have
not been able to support the Capital Improvement Fund
within the Capital Improvement Program and have been
drawing down on the existing reserves built up in that
fund. That cannot continue because of this current year
would virtually wipe out the remaining reserves and ring
it down to under $300,000. Projects recommended for
inclusion in the 5 year program are funded for the most
part either from those available reserves remaining or
unidentified future revenues. The additional capital
construction beyond 84 -85 will depend upon identifica-
tion of new or increased sources of revenues for capital
funding. For 1985 -86 what is being recommended requires
approximately $943,000 in the Capital Improvement Fund
minus the $200,000 or so that would be remaining at the
end of this year. For the 1986 -87 budget, an additional
$450,000 would be required to fund those projects listed
for those years be funded from the Capital Improvement
Fund.
That federal revenue sharing was extended for
three years and effective October 1, 1983. We are
estimating a revenue of approximately $280,000.
We are now starting to feel the effects of our sales
tax loss which began over two years ago. A portion of
the revenue sharing money is used in the operating
budget as we've just gone over the Dial -A -Ride and the

Juvenile Diversion. The remainder of the money is
recommendea to be part of the Capital Improvement
Program.
Recommended projects in the Capital Improvement Pr_
for the tiscal year 84 -85 totals $6,985,786. In
addition to that there is approximately *1.5 million
budgeted by the Council in the preceeding years ana not
yet under contract. Those projects have been adjusted
for inflationary factors.
Mr. Northcraft stated that all those programs in 84 -85
that are recommended to be tunded trom the Capital Im-
provement tund, have the small c in the tootnote, ana
can be funded with existing reserves in that fund.
There's no money to fund anything in 85 -86
That the $1.2 million is simply the operating budget.
It does not take into account needed supplementals that
are not tunded currently that will have to be funded
eventually. It does not take into account that the fact
that the capital improvement fund will need some support
from the general fund at some point.
