Budgets
A budget document accomplishes several things: it is a statement of policy defining levels of services and allocating resources, an operational tool to guide staff in delivering those services, a planning guide with future-year application and it is also a communications vehicle to convey to all readers what the city intends to accomplish. Most importantly, and even more important than the dollars in it, a budget is about the services the city provides to its citizens, voters, and taxpayers. The city's budget is ultimately about creating and maintaining the city we can be proud to live and work in.
