Budget

Each fall in even-numbered years, the Mayor recommends to the City Council a proposed budget for the following two years. The City Council may amend the Mayor’s proposed budget, and by December 31st, it must adopt the budget by a majority vote.

The City’s biennial budget comprises a variety of funds for operating, capital, and other purposes.  The General Fund is the main operating fund. It provides the financial resources for the bulk of City services, including the Council and Executive functions, Police, Municipal Court, Building, Planning, Parks, Facilities Maintenance, City Clerk, Finance, and Human Resources.  Other funds are dedicated to a specific utility, capital, or other purposes as required by state statutes.

Other ordinances and resolutions are adopted with the budget to implement the budget. These include an ordinance setting the following year’s property tax levy, and any other ordinances or resolutions required for implementing the budget, such as changes to permit fees or utility rates and fees.
