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 generally
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 draft proposed Budget is
submitted to Richmond City Council by the Mayor. Council then reviews,
analyzes, and amends it to establish the official Richmond Government Budget
based on the priorities of Richmond residents.
Richmond City Council's budget
deliberations typically include more than a dozen public meetings, hearings, and work sessions. 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.
