Background
In March of each year, the City Manager formally presents the proposed budget to City Council and the
public. This is followed by a series of public hearings, work sessions, a community budget forum and a final
vote on the budget no later than April 15th. This item begins the FY 2024 budget discussions and deliberations.

Discussion
The total General Fund Budget for FY 2024 is proposed to be $226,239,155, a 6.27% increase over FY 2023. The
proposed budget also includes a $98.9 million Capital Improvement Program budget in FY 2024. The new online
Budget Book and presentation materials will be posted online after the meeting adjourns.

Alignment with City Council's Vision and Strategic Plan
The proposed budget aligns with the City’s current Strategic Plan which has been extended to FY 2024.

The presentation will be in-person in Council Chambers and up to 23 pre-registered members of the public
and two media representatives may register to attend. The public may also view this portion of the meeting
