To the extent the City does not fully recover its costs for these services, General Funds will subsidize the activity. Subsidies for services will reduce General Fund surpluses and correspondingly the Fund's ability to support activities such as long term capital improvements and pension stabilization efforts, as well as continued subsidies of the Storm Water and Street Lighting activities.
