CAPITAL PROJECTS FUND
The Capital Projects Fund accounts for the collection and disbursement of funds related
to capital improvements or significant capital equipment. The City annually updates and
issues a five-year capital improvement program (CIP). This program is the planning
guide for the City’s issuance of bonded debt and for the construction and replacement of
the City’s buildings and infrastructure. The first two years of the five-year capital
improvement program (CIP) are certified as part of the operating budget in the Capital
Projects Fund. The current five-year CIP is for years 2025-2029. Additional information
for the City’s five-year CIP program including maps and photos is available on the City’s
web page: https://www.icgov.org/budget under the Capital Improvement Program
heading.
Capital improvement projects involve the construction, purchase, or renovation of city
facilities or property. Most of the projects are specific, non-recurring major improvements
to the City's physical plant, are permanent in nature, and are greater than $25,000 and
have a useful life of three years or more. The City also budgets annually recurring
project funds for non-specified improvements of a specific nature; these funds are to be
spent on improvements that meet the same definition above. Funding sources for
capital improvement projects may be from operating funds, bond proceeds, grants,
donations, and a variety of other funding sources. The three largest sources of funds
are operating transfers in, bonded debt, and state and federal grants.
For the CIP for years 2025-2029, the total funding sources are $257,441,795, and the
total expenditures are $236,678,795. The difference between the total expenditures and
the total funding sources over the five-year period is a result of prior plan funding
sources that are being utilized to cover current plan expenditures such as engineering
and design.
The 2026 CIP expenditures of $65,940,345 will be certified as part of the fiscal year
2026 operating budget.
The 2026 CIP funding sources of $61,090,345 will also be certified as part of the fiscal
year 2026 operating budget. Budgeted fiscal year 2026 Capital Projects Fund revenues
and transfers in also include a transfer in from the TIF funds to reimburse for prior year
expenditures of $700 and other local government funding of $96,800 to be used on a
future project. Total Capital Projects Fund fiscal year 2026 budgeted revenues and
transfer in are $61,187,845.
The changes to the 2025 CIP are amended into the fiscal year 2025 operating budget.
The fiscal year 2025 Capital Projects Fund expenditure budget also includes totals from
the carry forward of prior year projects that must be re-appropriated with the State. The
amounts being carried forward from prior years are not included in the five-year CIP
totals. The revised Capital Projects Fund expenditures for fiscal year 2025 are
$151,501,795; the revised budget includes the 2025 CIP expenditures of $49,272,300
and prior year project carry forwards of $102,229,495.
The revised fiscal year 2025 Capital Projects Fund revenues and transfers in budget
also includes totals from the carry forward of prior year projects. The amounts being
carried forward from prior years are not included in the five-year CIP totals. The revised
Capital Projects Fund revenues and transfers in for fiscal year 2025 are $99,449,520;
the revised budget includes the 2025 CIP funding sources of $61,190,345 and a transfer
in from the TIF funds to reimburse for prior year expenditures of $200, and prior year
project carry forwards of $38,258,975.
Fund balance in the Capital Projects Fund primarily represents design fees for streets
projects that bonds haven’t been issued for from the current year and prior years. This
balance fluctuates based on the timing of the issuance of bonds and the timing of the
project expenditures. The estimated ending fund balance for fiscal year 2026 is -
$3,173,454.
