General Fund Budget

 

The General Fund provides and accounts for most traditionally recognized local government functions. These include: police services, health and social services, recreation programs, financial and administrative services, community development including planning, zoning, permits, code enforcement and building inspection, maintenance of parks, streets and rights-of-way, public works administration and engineering services, administration of contracts with other agencies that provide fire and emergency medical services, emergency communications, district court, jail services, and more.

 

The total General Fund budget for 2012 is $31,648,300 — a 32.4% reduction from the amended 2011 budget.  The main reason for the decrease is due to significant one-time expenditures that took place in 2011.  The most significant expense from this fund is for public safety services.
