The mission of the Finance Department is to plan and prepare all official statements for short and long term financing as well as the City's Comprehensive Annual Financial Report and to oversee all financial departments. Our objectives include ensuring adherence to all provisions of the Government Accounting Standards Board (GASB), preparing monthly financial reports on the fiscal condition of the City in relation to the budget, acting as a liaison to all financial institutions on matters relating to City business, and ensuring all debt obligations of the City are paid in accordance with borrowing provisions.
