Background - Richmond
Government Budget ____________________________________
As Richmond Residents,
we pool our resources in order to own and operate our local government and
decide what public services we want to invest in;
the priority (investment levels) for these services; and, how we pay for them.
Examples of our services include the management, oversight and delivery of such
things as clean/safe water; streets/parks; laws; law enforcement/firefighting/rescue;
trash/sewage removal; public transportation; and, our children’s education.
Together, we own, operate, use and benefit from these services on a daily
basis.
Funding for our services and enforcement of
laws comes from state, local and federal sources, including fees and taxes.
In order to set the investments levels we
want for these services, Richmond City Council establishes an official annual
Richmond Government Budget in May of each year for the upcoming Fiscal Year.
The Richmond Government Budget is based on
a Fiscal Year that runs July 1 to June 30 annually and the City operates on a
two-year fiscal plan (Budget) that includes the Richmond General
Fund, Richmond Capital Improvement Plan, Richmond Special Funds, Richmond
Enterprise Funds, Richmond Internal Service Funds, the City Government
contribution to Richmond Public Schools; and, additional state, federal, and other funds provided to Richmond Public
Schools.
The Richmond Government Budget is typically
amended annually. Thus, every year a proposed (draft) Richmond Government
Budget (Fiscal Plan) is submitted to Richmond City Council by the Mayor, who is
responsible for administering local government services. Council then reviews,
analyzes, amends and establishes an official Richmond Government Budget based
on the priorities of Richmond Residents.
Richmond City Council budget deliberations
begin each August and intensify the following year. They include more than two
dozen public meetings, hearings and work sessions from
August through May.
The Richmond Government Budget takes the
form of Ordinances that are approved by Richmond City Council each May for an
upcoming Fiscal Year.
Richmond City Council _________________________________________________________
MISSION The
