Budget

The budget is prepared under the direction of the City Manager by the Finance Department. In early spring of each year, operating departments are directed to submit budgetary requests to the Finance Department for verification and compilation. While expenditure requests are being prepared, projections of revenues for the year are developed. The requests and projections are presented to the City Manager. The City Manager reviews the expenditure requests and revenue projections, makes necessary deletions and additions, and recommends a budget to the City Council. The preparation of this budget is made possible by the efforts of the Finance staff.
