The City successfully navigated the recent recession using various techniques common to short-term revenue situations, and City Council and staff believes that it can be less reactive and more strategic in its financial planning.  Therefore, in order to improve decision making and be more strategic, the City initiated a process to develop a long range financial model and plan that will help it be more strategic, resilient, and sustainable.

To assist the City with this effort, it engaged FCS Group to help great a financial modeling tool for the City's major activities that includes five major City funds: General Fund, Street Fund, Building Fund, Water Fund, and Stormwater Fund. 

On January 27, 2015 the FCS Group presented the financial plan to City Council and staff.  Following discussion of the plan, council and staff suggested a few minor changes and gave approval for the plan to be finalized.

Below is a copy of the Long Term Financial Plan.
