City Budgets and Financial Planning

This information is all about understating your City's budget, and what it means for you. Each year, preparing and approving the City’s budget is one of the most important tasks for both administration and City Council. This budget is how we plan to spend tax dollars on essential services and infrastructure that directly impact you, the residents.

The budget helps ensure we manage public funds responsibly while meeting the community's needs. It covers two main areas: operating budgets (for everyday services like police, fire, and parks) and capital budgets (for long-term investments in infrastructure, like roads and buildings).

The budget is also aligned with The City’s Strategic Plan, so the decisions made reflect the priorities of the community. Because needs and priorities can change from year to year, the budget may adjust accordingly to continue providing the right level of service.

It is always our goal to show you what your tax dollars are being used for and how we're working to provide essential services now and in the future.
