This change wasimplementedinthe2009‐10budgetyear.Althoughtheappropriationamountrequestedfor2015‐16islessthanwhatwasapprovedin2014‐15, to compare the budget request one should reduce both budgets by the capital purchases.

CapitalOutlay

The Town of Merrimack uses capital reserve funds as a cost‐effective method of financing thepurchaseorreplacementoffacilities,equipmentandinfrastructure.Consistentamountshavebeenincluded in annual budgets for transfer to these funds in past years and in the current budgetsubmitted by the Town Council, so that sufficient monies are available when purchases orreplacements are required. This spreads the related cost over the funding period, rather thanrequiring a large appropriation in the year of purchase or replacement, and thereby helps tostabilizepropertytaxrates.Also,interestearnedonmoniesheldincapitalreservefundsoffsetsaportion of the purchase or replacement cost and/or serves as a hedge against inflation. Thesecapital reserve funds provide for the replacement of fire trucks, bridges, ambulances, policecommunication equipment, Highway Division trucks and heavy equipment, as well as for othermajorcapitaloutlayneeds.The2015‐16budgetincludes$1,446,000inCapitalReserveFund(CRF)deposits,whilethecurrentbudgetproposes$2,907,334inCRFwithdrawals.
