What is the budget comprised of?

• The General Operating Fund is funded by taxation, and covers the operational expenses of the District.

• The Capital Plan defines where the District will invest for the long term on infrastructure, equipment and facilities.

• The portion of the budget that is funded by property taxes is proposed to increase by roughly 5% after non-market growth is factored in. (Non-market growth is the increase in the tax base due, in part, to new construction within the community).

• The three Utilities (water, sewer and solid waste) are funded in part by utility fees (separate from property taxes), and address operational and capital expenses for each area.
