City Budget

The Finance Department is responsible for preparing and publishing the City's annual Operational Budget and Capital Improvement Plan. The Finance Director works closely with the City Manager and the City Commission to develop a proposed budget.

Once the City Commission has approved and finalized the budget, it is published in the newspaper, and a public hearing is held before voting on the budget.

The Budget is on an annual cycle, January to December. The adoption of the Budget typically takes place in the summer for the upcoming year.

The Capital Improvements Program is separate from the Operational Budget and is intended for one-time only expenses, large capital purchases, and maintenance for facilities and roads.
