The Finance Department is responsible for overseeing the preparation of the City’s annual budget. The annual budget serves as the foundation for the City’s financial planning and control.
The City provides a full range of services which include; general government, public safety (police, fire, disaster preparedness and building inspection), construction and maintenance of highways and streets, economic development, culture and recreation, water, refuse, and sewer. In addition to general City activities, the council is also financially responsible for the Redevelopment Agency; therefore, these entities are included as an integral part of the City’s budget.
