BUDGET APPROVAL
The proposed budget is submitted to City Council in late July. Public budget workshop(s) are then held in August. After the certified tax roll is received
from the appraisal district (July 25), City Council approves the roll and sets a proposed tax rate. Public notices are published in the local newspaper and
on the City's website in accordance with state law. After public hearings are held for both the operating budget and the proposed tax rate, they are
scheduled for approval on the first and third Tuesday in September, respectively.
BUDGET AMENDMENT PROCESS
To amend the current year budget, the requesting individual/department must complete a Budget Amendment Request Form (BARF) in the Laserfiche
document management system. The completed form is routed to the Budget Officer for review and approval. If required due to a new appropriation of
funds, an ordinance is 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.
