FY 2011 Budget Process
Council will soon be considering the City’s budget for FY 2011. The schedule for this process has been established as follows:
By June 25, 2010, the City Administrator will send budget forms to all City department heads for their review and completion, establishing expenditures per department.
Those completed forms/budget requests will be returned to the City Administrator by July 16, 2010.
During the week of July 19, 2010, the department heads will meet with the City Administrator, City Treasurer, and Mayor for further consideration of the departmental requests. Then the City Administrator, Treasurer, and Mayor will meet to consider the requests and finalize the proposed FY 2011 budget.
At the August 12, 2010, Council meeting, the proposed FY 2011 budget will be presented to City Council.
On August 26, September 9, and September 23, 2010, public hearings will be held on the proposed FY 2011 budget, including the proposed EDC budget, and on the proposed tax rate.
On September 23, 2010, Council will adopt the City’s FY 2011 budget, the EDC’s approved budget, and the proposed tax rate.
If you have any interest in how your tax money is being spent, please plan to attend the above-listed public hearings and make your opinions known.
