Mission
Statement
The mission of the
Finance Department is to utilize corporate approaches to professionally and
responsibly manage the financial affairs of the City, to protect and
further the City's strong financial reputation, and to effectively and
efficiently provide related support services for citizens and City
operations.
Management
Philosophy
The City's financial management policy is, to the
extent possible, to function like a similarly sized corporation. While
most governments see themselves as a government, which happens to
be a corporation, the City sees itself as a corporation, which happens
to be a government.
The City strives to be a state and national leader
in financial disclosure, financial reporting, as well as investment,
risk management, debt and pension administration. The City has a proven track
record of using innovation and creativity to construct city programs,
public/public and
public/private arrangements which are fair, reasonably balanced and
mutually beneficial.
