Capital Project Review
Capital Projects usually exceed $35,000. The Parks and Recreation Master Plan is an example
of a capital project the Administration is working on.
The current General Fund plan for FY25-FY29 is attached. Approved items from FY24, such as
replacing Shelter 3 at Municipal Park, are no longer on the plan because the projects are ongoing.
