Budget
Budget Preparation
The City Manager's Office prepares an annual budget for City Council review and adoption. The Assistant City Manager's and the Budget Manager assist the City Manager by preparing two major documents:
- The City Manager's Recommended Budget, which is the document reviewed by council
- Adopted Budget, which is released after the council has adopted the budget for the fiscal year
It is the goal of the City Manager's Office to maximize city resources by identifying cost saving measures and making improvements to the budget process each year. The City Manager's Office also prepares for consideration any amendments to the budget which are necessary throughout the year.
The city budget is the operating plan for the fiscal year. The operating budget is the portion of the budget dedicated to the ongoing operations of the city, while the capital budget is the portion of the budget for major capital projects in the city's capital funds. The city also prepares a five-year Capital Improvements Plan (CIP).
The budget office also helps to coordinate performance management for the City of Fredericksburg. Each year the city works to improve the collection of data and evaluate it accordingly, to continually improve the services provided to our residents.
