2012/2013 Adopted Budget

The 2012/2013 fiscal year began on July 1, and city staff has the funds it needs to continue to maintain the high level of services that make Tualatin such a great place in which to live, work and play! The City Council adopted the Fiscal Year 2012 /2013 Budget on June 25th, after a thorough review by the City’s Budget Advisory Committee. Reviewing and approving the budget each year is one of the most important tasks completed by the City Council. There are many competing demands for amenities and services in the community, and there are very limited resources. The Council spends time every two years developing goals and priorities to assist City staff in balancing the competing demands during the annual budget process. 

While continuing to provide the quality services our residents desire, at the levels they have come to enjoy and expect, the City is able to fund one-time expenditures, maintain funding related to community engagement and improve operational efficiencies through technology.  Throughout the year, staff will continue to maintain the services (public safety, parks and recreation, general government, streets, water, sewer and storm drain) and the programs Tualatin residents enjoy such as Concerts on the Commons, the Pumpkin Regatta, Library Programs, ArtSplash and many others.

The ability to work on new initiatives while continuing to maintain services at their current levels is a tremendous accomplishment in this economic climate!  Many cities have faced deep cuts in services, but because of the City Council’s responsible and prudent fiscal management, the quality of life in Tualatin continues to improve.  Once again, the City’s fiscal health model shows that Tualatin is in a very stable condition.

The Adopted City of Tualatin Budget totals $66,362,995 and the Tualatin Development Commission’s Adopted Budget totals $5,774,165.
