Finance Department

Welcome

The goals of Finance Department are to employ best practices and be transparent in financial management, to strengthen and make judicious use of financial resources to achieve and build City financial resilience, and to focus on internal and external customer services in various support services.  The Department works to preserve a strong financial condition by creating responsible financial strategies, effectively managing the City's resources, and providing analysis and recommendations that ensure optimal economic outcomes.

The Finance Department provides centralized revenue collection, financial planning, budgeting, reporting and analysis, treasury and investment, debt management, grant accounting, purchasing, accounts payable, payroll, and audits.  In addition, the Department establishes and maintains the City's administrative policies and procedures for internal controls.  The Department follows Federal and State laws, rules, and regulations to prepare many mandated reports.
