<br />* Includes three equipment replacement contributions totaling $796,000, a Capital Reserve contribution of
<br />$10,043,844.
<br />** In governmental budgeting, projects are fully budgeted in the fiscal year in which the contract is awarded. At
<br />the end of each fiscal year, unspent funds are carried forward until the project is completed. This provides
<br />budget appropriations necessary for MWMC to commit to contracts that span more than one fiscal year.
<br />Therefore, although the budgeted amount in the capital budget for FY 10-11 is $32,970,347, which includes
<br />$450,000 in sponsorship options, the capital project spending for FY 10-11 is only expected to total about
<br />$18,362,000.
<br />*** Because all capital projects for which contracts will be awarded in FY 10-11 must be fully budgeted in FY 10-
<br />11, the revenue requirements, and in this case, any necessary borrowing, must also be shown in the budget
<br />year.
<br />Respectfully submitted,
<br />Susie Smith,
<br />MWMC Executive Officer
