The City's budget is a financial operating plan setting out anticipated revenue and expenditures for accomplishing a variety of public services.  The process of creating the budget is concerned with developing an acceptable mix or balance between costs and services.  It ultimately represents City Council decisions 

  • committing to provide a specific level of service within a given amount of resources;
  • establishing the authority to spend funds; and
  • establishing criteria (objectives, measures and dollar limits) for evaluating and controlling expenditures, revenue collections and performance.
