Regular City Council Meeting Monday, May 17, 2010 Page 23 provided in the narrative for larger items (i.e., roofs on facilities in certain years; fire vehicles); and cross referencing by- division summaries for major capital items; as well as outlining a plan to get funding in place through savings, main- taining fund balances to replace assets, or bonding to fill those funding gaps.
