Budget Document

The city's Current Budget has significance importance:

  • It represents City Council’s goals and policies
  • It serves as a guide to city and departmental operations
  • It identifies where your tax dollars and other revenues are being spent

The budget is developed annually, but the budget process is ongoing and relies on strategic planning, public input, City Council goals, and economic indicators.  It must also comply with all state and federal requirements.    


The 2027 Budget is still under review. The Preliminary 2027 Budget is available for viewing below:
