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.
