A long-range financial plan is the process to address issues impacting the City's ability to provide services in a financially sustainable manner.
Year 1 will focus on economic factors affecting revenues and expenditures based on the current service delivery plan.
Year 2 will focus on realignment of service delivery options to better reflect long-term finances for the City.
An annual update will revise current conditions before the budget process begins for the coming year.
Issues and Objectives include providing a financial five-year forecast for all funds (General Fund - Utilities - Capital Funds - Others) with revenue trends. And - analysis of reserves to recommend appropriate levels of reserve to adequately provide for program needs while complying with fiscal policies and legal requirements.
