Property Tax Breakdown and Tax Increase Information
View the 2024 Preliminary Budget
Dear Citizens of Fircrest,
I would like to invite all of you to participate in the 2024 Budget process. The budget document provides
a financial plan and operations guide used by City employees to implement various programs and
services.
Every year staff prepares the Preliminary Budget which is given to Council at the last meeting in
September.
This year the budget was given to the Council on September 26th. Meetings are scheduled for Monday
evenings on October 9th, 16th, 23rd and 30th starting at 6:00 pm. These meetings are to allow the staff to
present to the Council information contained in the Preliminary Budget.
Public comments on the budget will be invited during Public Hearings. There will be two public hearings
scheduled for October 24th. One will be for revenue, and one will be for expenditures. Another public hearing is scheduled for November 14th to hear additional public comments on expenditures.
There will also be ordinances, resolutions, and motions passed for property tax levies, and salary and
wages. Please check the Council agenda to confirm the dates and times.
The Council makes the final decision on what is to remain, removed or added to the Preliminary Budget.
Sincerely,
Colleen Corcoran, Finance Director
