The total city budget is $674 million. This includes both the Tax Operating Funds and Enterprise Funds. There is no ad valorem tax millage increase for the 16th year in a row.

The Enterprise Funds budget for FY05 reflects the results of department reorganizations and efforts to contain costs. Water, wastewater, parking and solid waste rates will remain the same for FY05.

The general fund is the largest of the tax operating funds. This fund provides essential services such as public safety, public works and parks and recreation.
