City of Roseville — 2015 Budget Capital Replacement Policy Purpose The Roseville City Council has set in place a stable funding mechanism for much of the city's infrastructure. The intent of the Council in having Replacement Policies is to provide for easing the burden on both present and future taxpayers and to assure the replacement of the city's infrastructure in a manner that is both fiscally and operationally prudent. The primary purpose of this policy is to have specific resources set aside on a periodic basis, to create funding for the major equipment and infrastructure needs of the community, without encountering major tax increases for maintenance and replacement. It is not the intent of the City Council to fund major new facilities, which have not had the original funding established either through tax increment, general taxes or other such sources. The replacement funds are expected to be only far replacement purposes. (See the Implementation section below) Policv ❖ The City will establish departmental Vehicle Replacement Funds. The City will appropriate monies to them annually to provide for timely replacement of vehicles.
