Capital Improvement Allocation:

Capital Improvement Funds are derived from general funds and transferred following the
finalization of the operating budget. These funds are intended to support building renovations and
equipment upgrades, ensuring the facility remains modern, functional, and equipped with state-
of-the-art resources.

Although capital allocations are not expected to be required during the initial years of
operation, they will be accumulated annually and carried forward for future use. This approach
allows for strategic planning and readiness for larger-scale improvements when needed. For
budgeting purposes, the following guidelines should be applied:

For Capital Improvements, 3% of the Operating Budget shall be used for the annual budget
allocation. For equipment upgrades, an additional 1% of the Operating Budget shall be used.
These percentages serve as a planning benchmark and may be adjusted based on actual facility
needs, project timelines, and available funding.

The following table shown the total projected Operational Budget including personnel,
expenses, operational expenses, and capital expenditures.
