City Council Adopts FY 2023/24 Budget

 

On Tuesday, June 13th, the Fremont City Council unanimously voted to adopt the City’s FY 2023/24 operating budget.  This year’s operating budget takes advantage of our growing local revenues to not only maintain essential services but also make targeted improvements that focus on City Council and community priorities.  

 

Additions to the budget include additional police officers, a firefighter recruit academy to prepare for activation of a new fire truck company, a community service officer for the mobile evaluation team, staff to support urban landscape and forestry activities, a new street maintenance crew, and staff and funding to expand Citywide efforts to promote downtown and neighborhood business district vitality.  The proposed budget also includes increasing the ongoing General Fund allocations for street, park, and building maintenance activities.

 

Although the proposed budget assumes that the local economy will continue to grow during FY 2023/24, if instead we experience a slowdown or recession, we can maintain services by drawing on the General Fund Budget Uncertainty Reserve.
