Background - Richmond Government Budget
Establishing the Fiscal
Year Richmond Government Budget represents Richmond City
Council’s most fundamental responsibility as the Governing Body of Richmond and
serves as the foundation and ultimate act of its policymaking and stewardship over our local government on behalf of all Richmond residents.
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 some of the services we invest
in include the management and delivery of such things as clean/safe water;
streets/parks; laws; law enforcement/firefighting/rescue; trash/sewage removal;
and, our children’s education. Together, we own, operate, use, and benefit from
these services on a daily basis. Funding
for these services comes from state, local and federal sources, including fees
and taxes.
In order to set the investment levels we
want for these services, 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 (biennial) 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) Budget is
submitted to Council by the Mayor. Council then reviews, analyzes, and amends
it to establish an official Budget based on the priorities of Richmond residents.
Richmond City Council budget deliberations
include more than a dozen public meetings, hearings, and
work sessions from August through May. The final
Fiscal Year Richmond Government Budget takes the form of Ordinances that are voted
on by Council each May for an upcoming Fiscal Year.
