City Clerk's Department - Budget 2009
The 2009 City of Duluth budget will become effective on July 1, 2008 and run through June 30, 2009. The City provides many services to its current residents and businesses, as well as planning for those that will be available in the future. The 2009 Budget accounts for over $34 million in general fund revenue, SPLOST funds and grants from a variety of sources. The City’s property tax millage rate has not been increased since 1992.
This budget includes Operations and Maintenance funding and Capital Improvement Projects that will benefit the entire community. A half year is spent planning, preparing and refining the City’s Budget. The staff prepares Program Decision Packages (PDP’s) that present all of the expenses necessary to provide a service or carryout a function of the City. PDP’s are also developed for Capital Improvement Projects. Revenue figures are estimated and revised as the month’s progress. Once all the components are complete, the proposed budget is presented to the Mayor and Council.
The Mayor and Council spend several sessions reviewing and revising the budget as presented by staff. The City Council makes the final determination as to how much money will be approved for the operating budget and capital improvement budget. The last step of the process is the public hearing, where citizen input is accepted and considered. Once adopted, the budget is put into place and becomes the spending plan for the fiscal year.
