Tempe: Get engaged in 2013-14 budget efforts!

By: Ken Jones, Finance and Information Technology Director 

The city of Tempe is in the midst of drafting operating and capital budgets for the 2013-14 fiscal year. They will not be finalized until June, but work is progressing to plan for what will be needed to fund city services and capital needs. In addition, the city is planning for the expiration of the additional sales tax approved by voters in 2010. The 2013-14 fiscal year will be the last year with the additional funding from the tax.
