Both are reviewed annually. <br />• 2017-2018 CIP Budget: $30.9M <br />• 2018-2019 CIP Budget: $44.4M <br />• The plan is to go for a $20M bond to support CIP budget <br />in 2018-2019. This is not available funding, but money <br />that has already been spoken for in terms of projects on <br />the CIP list. <br />• General Fund contributes to CIP $10M and $7M <br />respectively. <br />• Once a project is on a CIP list, funds are appropriated for <br />a maximum of 5 years. If not used by 5th year through <br />auto carryovers, then project needs to be reapproved <br />(i.e. street, roads, sidewalks are most common <br />carryovers). <br />• Enterprise Funds: Wastewater Treatment Plant, <br />Stormwater, Marina Golf Course Operations, the <br />Marina. Golf course is managed by American Golf Corp. <br />• Internal Service Funds (Enterprise Fund): Self Insurance <br />Fund, IT, Vehicle Equipment & Replacement, Building & <br />Facilities Fund. <br />• No Wi-fi at Marina Golf Course. <br />• There has not been a fund specifically <br />for broadband.
