City Finances
|
|
I start the budget process around March and it runs through August. Throughout this time, the Mayor and I work together through all aspects of the budget. We meet with the department heads to determine where they are on their current budget and what their anticipated need will be for the ensuing year. The process then revolves around tying out the revenues and expenses. We will have several budget workshops with the Council where the proposed budget is presented to them. We work through this process over several months and by August the Council will be ready to adopt the budget for the subsequent year. |
|
|
No our budget runs from October – September. |

The Kimberly Ordinance describes an unserviceable vehicle as any vehicle which is required to be licensed and registered by the State of Idaho and is not licensed and registered and is in such condition that it cannot be started or moved under its own power without repair. Derelict vehicles typically leak fluids such as anti-freeze, gasoline and other automotive fluids onto the ground, contaminating the local area. These vehicles also create an attractive nuisance to children by presenting an enticing, but dangerous, plaything. There are several documented incidents of children becoming locked inside a vehicle and succumbing to the extreme temperatures produced within the vehicle. Inoperative vehicles also detract from neighborhoods appearance and can invite an undesirable element into your community. |
