Course Description: 
Capital budget and long-term capital planning priorities are necessary due to limited funding sources.  Sustainable funding strategies require the analysis and matching of capital needs to appropriate funding sources. Reserve, grant, development charges, tax/utility rate, and debt management strategies are all critical components of an overall funding strategy.

Learn how to develop a funding strategy for your capital budget and long term capital plan, gain an understanding of each capital budget funding source, learn reserve, grant, and debt management strategies, and learn funding strategies for maintenance, growth, and service.
