operating supplies costs. They can also have an impact on insurance and debt service. In recent years, due to fiscal constraints, the City has focused the CIP budget on maintaining existing infrastructure, such as roads and building maintenance projects. Typically, these types of recurring capital projects have only maintenance as a recurring impact on the operating budget.
One exception is information technology projects. These projects necessitate ongoing funding for systematic replacement of information and communication systems, as well as ongoing operating impacts that may include maintenance costs and software support.
New construction or major improvements generally require additional operating expenditures such as electricity, building insurance, or general maintenance. The following chart shows the estimated impact of operating costs for FY 2026/27 capital projects. They may represent positive or negative impacts on operating costs.
The total operating costs for capital projects in the FY 2026/27 budget are $143,200. Significant CIP operating costs for the most significant projects are as follows:
