Budget

The Finance Department is responsible for coordinating the preparation of the Operating Budget and Five-Year Capital Improvement Program for the City and Redevelopment Agency.  The budget is prepared annually for the fiscal year, beginning July 1 and ending June 30.  A general timeline for the budget process is as follows:

• In December the City Council establishes goals for the coming year
•  In January a set of budget instructions and calendar is issued to City Departments which begin the preparation of the budget requests for the coming fiscal year 
• During March and April, the City Manager reviews department requests to develop the City Manager’s recommended proposed budget
• During late April and early May a proposed budget document is prepared by the Finance Department
• In late May or early June, the City Council reviews the City Manager’s proposed budget in a study session open to the public
• During June, following the City Council budget review, the City Council adopts the coming fiscal year budget by resolution
