Budgets

The Finance Administration Division coordinates and compiles the citywide budget document. The budget process, guidelines, assumptions and training are coordinated and provided by this division. The division ensures that the budget complies with the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB).

The City‘s budget is approved by City Council as an ordinance before Nov. 1 of each year, for the ensuing year. The current budget document is the latest year shown, as approved or proposed (not yet approved), while all other documents contain dated information for historical references only.

A hard copy of the budget document is available for viewing at the City Clerk’s Office.
