City Budget and Capital Improvement Program

At Monday’s meeting, the City Council will review and consider the City’s proposed budget for the new fiscal year, which runs from July 1, 2019 to June 30, 2020. The budget is the City’s fiscal plan that sets out anticipated revenues and expenditures for accomplishing a variety of municipal services over a one-year period. Basically, it’s our financial plan and this is your invitation to come to Monday’s City Council meeting to participate in the discussion. For the upcoming fiscal year, the proposed citywide operating budget totals approximately $134.8 million. A key portion of the operating budget is the City’s General Fund (approximately $81 million), which accounts for most of the major services to residents and businesses. The proposed three-year Capital Improvement Program (CIP) budget, which provides funding for projects like the Public Safety Center and improvements to Pickleweed Park,  totals approximately $130 million over a three-year period.
