Preparation of the 2025 City Budget

The City's Budget represents the proposed fiscal plans for the city. It brings together the direction and policies of the City Council working in a collaborative effort with the citizens, city staff and other interested parties, and best determines the financial resources available to establish the operating and capital plans for the next budget cycle. As a planning and policy document, one fundamental purpose of the City’s budget is to allocate resources that support the community’s vision and priorities.
