The largest capital expenditures are generally used for sewer, waterway, and highways. Transportation costs have risen sharply since 1988 due to the increasing of capital and operating costs of municipalities. However, the infrastructure of the city needs constant maintenance and replacement, resulting in a negative cycle of funding.

The personnel services section of the CPD’s budget is the most important and accounts for the largest portion of funds. The department must staff an adequate amount of police officers and support staff to cover the 24/7 operations and to achieve its mission.
