Regarding a budget for a municipality, what is the difference between an operating budget and a capital budget?
Would you also show the source of revenues (not just expenses) on the budget?
What types of line items might I find on a municipal operating budget and a capital budget?

The basic difference is, the operating budget goes toward daily, on-going, regular expenditure types of items.
The capital budget would be to improve and/or build new assets (buildings, roads, etc.)
Depends. Most cases, yes.
Salaries, utilities, etc on an operating budget.
Construction and equipment costs on a capital budget
