The Budget Committee is an advisory committee of the City Council. The committee's primary responsibilities are:

• Meet publicly to review the budget document as proposed by the City's Budget Officer.

• Receive the proposed budget and the budget message and holds at least one meeting in which the public may ask questions about and comment on the budget.

• Approve the budget and, if ad valorem property taxes are required, approve the amount of tax or the rate per $1,000 of assessed value for each levy that will be certified to the assessor.
