They include: • Risk Management (1) d• Workers Compensation (2) • Employee Benefits (1) • Retiree Medical Reserve (2) + Public Art Acquisition & Maintenance (2) + Replacement & Renovation (10) In accordance with adopted financial policies and the General Plan, the City maintains ten Replacement and Renovation Funds. The purpose of these Funds is to provide ongoing replacement of City assets; equipment, vehicles, street lights and traffic lights, and to make major repairs and renovations to facilities, parks, medians, and city wide tree trimming in order to extend the lives of these assets. Adopted financial policies call for the establishment and maintenance of reserves including major maintenance and renovations of buildings, parks, and medians. This is accomplished by charging operating programs an annual charge pursuant to a 20 to 30 year funding plan based on the asset replacement cost and estimated life of the capital asset. All Other Operating Funds Projected revenues and expenditures for all other Operating Funds, including Trust Funds, are contained in the body of the budget document. 14
