UPCOMING MEETINGS Envision Committee Weds., 05/23/18, 6PM 3330 S. 1300 E. To review and discuss preliminary first draft of General Plan City Council Tues., 05/29/18 Time and place TBA City Council To Adopt Tentative Budget for Fiscal Year 2018-19 MILLCREEK. State law requires cities to operate on a July 1 to June 30 fiscal year. That means that springtime in Utah is municipal budget season. Every city council, including ours, must have a new budget in place by the end of June. Over the last several months, our skilled Finance Director, Laurie Johnson, together with our proficient City Manager, John Geilman, overhauled our budget format to present it in a way that will make it much easier to track throughout the year. In March and April, Mrs. Johnson and Mr. Geilman met with the mayor and Council in public work sessions to prepare a proposed tentative budget for fiscal year 2018-19. Once completed, the proposal was posted and a public hearing set and advertised. The public hearing was held earlier this week. At this point, the Council's May 29th agenda includes a proposal to adopt the proposed tentative budget. You can review the proposal by clicking here. If you didn't get a chance to come to the public meeting, you can still weigh in by contacting your City Council representative or the mayor. Click here for their contact information. The final budget adoption must wait until August. Recall that at the end of 2017, the City left SLVLESA, the taxing district that had been collecting property taxes to provide for police services. That means that going forward, property owners will be paying their taxes for police services directly to the City. But the City cannot collect any of that tax until it holds a Truth-in-Taxation public hearing. That will occur on August 13th. You'll have another opportunity to comment by email before that hearing, and then again at the hearing, before the Council Subscribe Past Issues Translate ---PAGE BREAK--- 11/1/2018 05/18/18 eNEWS - City set to adopt tentative budget for FY 2018-19 3/5 adopts the final FY 2018-19 budget. As a short summary of the proposed budget, Millcreek anticipates collecting just shy of $23.5 million in revenues this coming fiscal year. This will come from a variety of sources, including fees, sales tax, grants, property taxes, and cable tv franchise fees (which the County collected prior to incorporation but are now paid to the City). You'll see that we will be starting the new fiscal year with a healthy 15% fund balance, which is reflective of the City's sound fiscal management.
