Understanding the Town's Budget

Through a collaborative effort between the Administrative Services Department and other Town Departments, the budget is based on the priorities set by the Town Council and estimates revenues and expenditures based on current economic conditions.

The Town's Budget has 3 main components: the Operating Budget, the Capital Improvement Project Budget, and the Redevelopment Successor Agency Budget.

The Operating Budget estimates revenues and expenditures of Town operations. The General Fund is the major operating fund of the Town. The General Fund's three main sources of revenue are property tax, sales tax, and transient occupancy tax.

The Capital Improvement Project Budget (CIP) is a five-year budget that is updated each year for the next five years. Capital improvement projects are projects that may last longer than one year, have an investment of more than $10,000, and involve infrastructure or other capital assets. For example, projects include roundabouts, intersection improvements, bridge seal replacements, and bike lane projects.
