BACKGROUND _______________________________________________________________________
As Richmond Citizens, we pool our resources to own and operate our 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; firefighting/ rescue; trash/sewage removal; laws, police/courts; public transportation; and, our children’s education. Together, we own, operate, use and benefit from these services every day.
Thus, every year a proposed 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 and amends this budget based on the priorities of citizens.
Council's budget deliberations typically span three months, from mid-March until final adoption toward the end of May and take place during an estimated two dozen Council meetings and special work sessions that are all open to the public. During the process, Council adopts a Richmond Real Estate Tax Rate and, at the conclusion of the deliberations, votes on a Richmond City Government Budget for the upcoming Fiscal Year (FY).
The Richmond City Government Budget runs from July 1 to June 30 annually and the City operates on a two-year fiscal plan (Budget) that includes City General Fund, Capital Improvement Plan, Special Funds, Enterprise Funds, Internal Service Funds, the City’s contribution to Richmond Public Schools and additional state, federal, and other funds provided to Richmond Public Schools. The Budget is typically amended every year.
Richmond citizens were invited and encouraged to attend any and all of the public meetings and budget work sessions.
The final budget takes the form of laws, which will are available from the Richmond City Council website, at www.council.richmondva.gov. Copies will also be available for review in the Richmond City Council Office of the City Clerk, at Richmond City Hall, 900 E. Broad Street, Suite 200, Richmond, Virginia 23219 (804.646.7955 tel).
