THE BUDGET PROCESS
The City of Tampa budget development
is a year round process. During the
first quarter of the new fiscal year, the
budget office prepares initial revenue
and expense estimates. Next, the mayor
and the departments review goals
and develop their service and delivery
objectives during the second quarter,
based on anticipated funding levels.
Departments then prepare working
budgets that are within the threshold
amounts. All budgets must be ready by
June for the mayor’s review.
Finally, the Recommended Budget is
presented to City Council for review,
two public hearings are held and
the budget is adopted by the end of
September. On October 1st the new
fiscal year starts and the process begins
again.
The first public hearing was held
on September 16th with the second
scheduled for September 30th, 5:30
p.m. at City Hall.
