City Budgeting Information
Budget Special Report: The League provides revenue and expenditure projections
in its annual
Budget Special Report. This Special Report also addresses changes to

impact city budgets. If the League becomes aware of changes to these
projections, it will post the information on this site as well as notify cities
in other timely methods.
