Finance Department
The service mission of the Finance Department is “ To provide quality municipal financial services to our residents through teamwork and trust - managing and optimizing the City’s financial affairs, and providing fiscal responsibility and accountability focused on the highest degree of customer service, honesty, and integrity”. This mission generates the standards under which the Finance Department functions. Those standards are defined and delivered using the three basic systems every department shares: its people, its physical assets, and its processes.
The Finance Department provides a wide range of comprehensive finance support services to the Mayor, the Council, and all City departments. These include accounting, financial administration and reporting, budgeting, internal audits, treasury/cash management, and investments. Overall responsibility for management of the City’s finances rests with the Finance Director.
The Finance Department sets financial management standards and then monitors performance to ensure that these standards are met and that Council adopted budgets are adhered to. The Finance Department consists of four divisions.
