Budget Process

The City’s fiscal year runs from July 1st to June 30th. The City Charter requires the City Manager present a proposed annual budget to the City Council by May 1st and requires that the City Council approve a balanced budget for the following fiscal year by June 30th. These charter requirements drive the deadlines and timelines for the operating budget process.

January to March

• Midyear review of the current adopted budget. Includes the evaluation and modification (if necessary) of revenues and expenses.

February through June

• Development and consideration of the Proposed Operating Budget for the coming fiscal year and the five year Capital Improvement Program.

Ongoing

• Department adjustments to non-labor expense categories, within the same fund, in order to accurately reflect management spending plans.
• Implementation of Council Adopted Budget Resolutions increasing or decreasing the approved operating, capital and grant budgets.
