City of Roseville — 2009 Budget City of Roseville Summary of the Budget Process Budget Process Overview The City of Roseville adheres to a comprehensive budgeting process that typically includes an initial Council budgeting goal- setting session(s), an extensive review and analysis by Staff of the general needs and available resources, and the eventual submittal of the City Manager's Recommended Budget to the City Council. The City's annual budgeting process is preceded and supplemented by a number of planning processes that are used to provide general direction for the City and to designate tentative resource allocations. These planning processes include the creation of a Comprehensive Plan, Park Master Plan, and the Capital Improvement Plan. Given their size, the text of these documents has been excluded from this Budget Document, however they can be found on the City's website at: www.ci.roseville.mn.us. These planning processes forecast the eventual impact on the City budget by projecting the capital investments and redevelopment cycles that are needed to maintain service levels and achieve overall objectives. The submittal of the Recommended Budget is followed by a series of public presentations to the City Council that is designed to give the Council and citizens an overview of the proposed Budget, and to prepare the Council in making informed budget decisions. Budget amendments are made in conjunction with the City's independent financial audit to ensure legal compliance. These amendments are made when actual expenditures exceed budgeted amounts at the Fund level.
