The City's fiscal year is July 1 through June 30. As such, the City Council annually adopts the City's operating and capital budgets for a single fiscal year beginning July 1 and ending June 30 in the subsequent calendar year.
To establish the annual budget, the Finance Department develops a plan for expenditures for City operations, updates labor costs to reflect salary and benefit changes, forecasts revenues to determine what resources, tax revenues, and other revenues will be available to support operating requirements, and identifies Capital Improvement Projects for the upcoming Fiscal Year.
Proposed operating and capital budget documents are prepared and transmitted to the City Council. Council then reviews the proposed operating and capital improvement budget in public meetings. Resident input is requested and this year, these meetings took place on April 16, 2018 and May 21, 2018. The budget is formally adopted by the vote of City Council on or before June 30 of each year. Any changes to the proposed budget during the Fiscal Year are taken to the City Council as needed.
