Marana Budget Process
The Town organizes and puts together an Annual Budget based on the priorities set by Town Council. The Annual Budget serves as the funding plan for policies, goals, and service-levels provided to the citizens of Marana. It gives staff the authority to spend funds according to the policy goals set by the Town Council. The budget process allows Town staff the opportunity to review Council’s goals and objectives in a formal setting, evaluate and determine what is required to meet those objectives, develop an implementation strategy, and share that information with the Town’s citizens and elected officials.
Timeline
The budget process occurs throughout the year as new regulations, funding sources, Town Council initiatives and policies, and improved methods of delivering services are brought forward to staff and Town Council. Beginning in August, soon after the completion and adoption of the current fiscal year’s budget, the Finance Department begins the review of the proposed capital improvement projects for the next fiscal year, the current rate and fee structures, the current cost of services provided to Town citizens, and the Town’s financial and strategic plans.
