Select a local government that has a capital improvement plan (CIP). Based on the recent CIP, answer the following questions. What is the definition of capital expenditure? Which capital expenditures belong in the capital budget? Who are the decision-makers in developing, adopting, and/or implementing capital budget? Does the CIP include routine maintenance expenditures of capital assets? If so, to what extent (e.g., asset types, amounts) it is included in the CIP? What are the major issues/problems for the governments capital management? Are they explicitly explained and discussed in the CIP? What are the major financing methods for the major capital assets for the government? Do you consider that the developed CIP is well connected to the governments master and strategic plans? Do you consider that the government developed the CIP based on the strategic prioritization process? What is your impression of the information quality as a citizen evaluator?
