Budget preparation allows departments the opportunity to reassess goals and objectives and the means for accomplishing them. Even though the budget may be heard by the Mayor and City Council in May and adopted in June, its preparation begins at least six months prior, with projections of City reserves, revenues, expenditures, and financial capacity. Forecasting is an integral part of the decision making process. Both long and short range projections are prepared. A five-year financial forecast is prepared for each major fund projecting both revenues and expenditures.
