OVERVIEW - Richmond
Government Budget
Establishing
the annual Richmond Government Budget is Richmond
City Council’s most fundamental role and responsibility as the governing legislative
institution of Richmond, Virginia and serves as the foundation and ultimate act
of its policy making and stewardship over our community’s
government operations 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, sidewalks, parks, laws, and law enforcement, firefighting,
emergency services/rescue; trash and 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, 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 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 and established 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.
