Resident’s Budget Guide

Thank you for taking the time to visit the Resident’s Budget Guide!  
The discussion of the annual budget is one of the most important decision-making processes of the year for the City Council.  The allocation of resources for City services and projects in areas like streets, inspections, parks, law enforcement, fire protection, and planning are reviewed and analyzed based on need, priority, and the overall impact to local property taxes paid by businesses and residents.  

Please visit this page often, as documents will be updated as the budget process moves forward.
