Annual Operating Budget

The City of Clemson Code of Ordinances outlines the basis of the municipal budget in Section 7-5: "Budgets for the general, special revenue, debt service funds, and any other funds deemed necessary for management purposes, shall be adopted annually prior to the start of each fiscal year. The city administrator shall present the budgets for adoption by ordinance of the city council. The budgets shall state estimated revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balances."

Annual budgets and supplementary budget appropriations are adopted by ordinance by the City Council providing for operations and capital expenditures of the City. The budget is prepared by function and activity within an individual fund; and includes information on the past two years, the current year budget, and the requested appropriations for the next fiscal year. All budgets are required to have two readings before being enacted into law.
