BUDGET CALENDAR
The Budget Calendar is an integral part of the City’s Financial Cycle:
In August-September, City Council meets to prepare and review strategic goals and
priorities for implementation during the budget process for the next fiscal year that begins
in March. Finance staff prepares the budget kick-off in March. During this kickoff
meeting, departmental staff is given direction from the City Manager on budget priorities
and goals set by Council. Department staff begins work on preparing their current year
estimates and budget requests for the upcoming year. Planning documents such as
Capital Outlay Plan, Personnel Improvement Plan, and Capital Improvement Plan are
developed or updated during this time.
