P. 24
After all funding levels are established, the proposed budget is presented by the City Manager to the
City Council in a workshop session. Public notices of the effective tax rate are published in the local
newspaper in accordance with state law. A public hearing is held after the City Council has reviewed
the budget during the budget workshop session. In a special meeting held prior to September 15, the
City Council approves the level of expenditure (“appropriation”) for each fund to become effective
October 1.
BUDGET AMENDMENT PROCESS
To amend the current year budget, the requesting individual/department head must first contact the
Budget Manager. The Budget Manager will assist in preparing the necessary budgetary
documentation. Upon the recommendation of the Budget Manager, the documentation is forwarded
to the City Manager for final approval. If required, an ordinance is then prepared for City Council
consideration at a regularly scheduled City Council meeting, where public discussion and debate are
possible. If approved by vote of the City Council, the necessary budgetary changes are made.
