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 mission of Richmond City Council is to
represent citizens in creating and amending local laws, providing government
policy and oversight, and approving the city budget.
Vision
Richmond City Council is committed to creating a
vibrant community that is a great place to live, work, learn, play, visit and
raise a family.
