FY2019 BUDGET: The FY2019 Operating Budget was adopted in December and represents a spending plan for all funds of $35,409,182.
The FY2019 Operating Budget is divided into numerous departments and fund budgets, allocating resources and depicts the accounting details, the revenue and expenditures, of each department and fund. Another useful way to view the budget is by depicting the specifics not by accounting details but rather by category of sources and uses of revenue, for example, transportation, parks and recreation, or by public safety as a function of service to the community.
The following is an aggregate synopsis by function of the FY2019 Governmental and Enterprise Funds as budgeted to further show where the City’s money comes from and where the City spends money. The Component Units (TIF Funds) and transfers between the other funds are excluded to accurately depict total sources and uses of revenue. TIF Fund revenues are flowed through the Governmental Funds to each specific TIF Fund. Transfers between funds represent the movement of money from one fund to another fund for subsidy purposes for specific expenditures, within legal perimeters.
