The Finance Department provides financial and administrative services to other City departments, the Mayor, City Council, and the Public. It is best to think of the Finance Department as part of the infrastructure of City Government. Our primary purpose along with the Personnel and Legal departments is to support departments providing direct services to the City.

Services Provided: Financial management support services include cash collections and depository activities, the investment of all City funds, the handling of connection and disconnection requests for the utility departments, responding to customer inquiries, and the resolution of credit and collection problems. Accounting support services include general ledger maintenance, accounts receivable, accounts payable, payroll and financial records keeping, reporting and analysis. Accounting personnel also maintain perpetual inventory records for all city owned fixed assets.

The Financial Services department also has key responsibility in generating the Preliminary and Final City budget, and in preparing the Annual Financial Report for the City. Other financial related reports are issued for management decision making and for external reporting purposes.
