Home MenuCost Allocation Plans
The city wide Cost Allocation Plan and Schedule of City Fees (CAP) is a budget document which is prepared and distributed approximately 90 days following the adoption of the annual Operating Budget. The CAP is a widely recognized and well-used method of distributing administrative overhead "support" costs to the benefiting programs within a City.
The City Council adopted its first CAP in December 1994. That plan established the method of allocating indirect and direct costs. The CAP is updated each year based upon the approved budget data for the current year and actual financial and statistical data for prior years. The City's CAP also becomes a key document in preparing the City's User Fee Review and labor charge rates.
