The operating budget is the City’s service and financial plan for the next fiscal year; a legally required planning tool that matches the services desired by the community, as interpreted by the City Council, to the estimated resources available to provide those services. The development, adoption, and implementation of the City budget is a major decision-making process with several phases, and each year, the public is encouraged to participate throughout the process by discussions at Council meetings during the year, public meetings held by the Finance Subcommittee to discuss the budget, and public hearings held by the City Council.
