The budget is the City’s plan for where we get money (revenues) and how we spend it (expenditures). It maps out how property tax dollars and other funding will be invested to provide the 70 services you rely on every day, as well as the hundreds of construction projects our growing city needs now and for the future.

The City budgets in 4-year cycles to plan stable programs and services. Council annually approves adjustments to our budget in response to significant changes.
