Government Finance

About Government Finance

Governmental finance can be broken down into three primary functions:
  • Budgeting
  • Auditing
  • Financial Record Keeping

Budgeting

The city’s annual budget preparation begins in January of each year, and ends in June with the adoption of the budget. The city’s fiscal year begins July 1 and ends June 30. Careful budgeting allows the city to provide the services the citizen’s require, while living within our resources.

Auditing

Annually after the completion of the fiscal year, the city’s independent auditors complete a review of city finances and operations. The goal of the audit is to receive a “clean audit opinion.” We are happy to report the city has always received a clean opinion.

  • Bank reconciliations
  • Insurance plan administration
  • Investing of funds
  • Payroll
  • Pension administration

The Finance Department works diligently to provide the lowest cost products and services while protecting the funds entrusted to us.
