City Budget
The City prepares and adopts a budget annually that ensures the long-term financial stability of our community. This budget covers both Operating and Capital expenditures. Every year, draft budgets are prepared by staff with input from their supporting committees. This draft budget is presented to Council for deliberation during special budget meetings. After deliberations, the final budget is presented to Council for adoption and the associated property tax, garbage/waste management, water and sewer rates are set for the year. See below for a typical budget timeline and the approved annual budget information for the City.
