As the city filed it

As part of the 2024 Budget process, the 2024-2033 Capital Budget and Plan included a combined $1.157 billion of previously approved unspent capital projects to be carried forward to 2024-2028. This carry forward amount was based on an initial estimate as per projections available at the time of the budget development, prior to the 2023 year-end closing. With the 2023 fiscal year closed in February 2024, City Programs and Agencies have finalized the 2023 actual project spending as well as the total carry forward request.

With the additional carry forward request, the total capital carry forward funding will be $1.677 billion, and the total adjusted 2024 Tax and Rate Supported Capital Budget including previously approved carry forward amount will be $5.976 billion. The revised total carry forward funding is equivalent to 28.1% of the total 2024 Tax and Rate Supported Capital Budget.
