The City Council will review the proposed fiscal 2013 budget at its annual retreat scheduled for Aug. 14-15 at the United Heritage Center at the Dell Diamond.

The Finance Department has prepared this handy Budget In Brief (PDF) document to provide a high-level overview of the document.

The public can weigh in formally at public hearings during the budget and tax rate approval process at the City Council's Sept. 13 and Sept. 27 meetings. You can also provide input via the City's Decision Points blog or by sending an email to our budget office.
