The General Fund Forecast Calculator is provided as a tool for citizen interaction as the 2013 City Budget process unfolds. You are encouraged to consider how you would shape the 2013 General Fund Budget.  Please remember that, under Kansas law, revenues must equal expenditures.

The General Fund is the major operational fund of the City, accounting for nearly 25% of the total City Budget in 2011.  Because of its importance to overall City services, budget reductions will directly affect the level of city services provided annually.

If you have questions related to the General Fund Forecast Calculator or if you would like to discuss any specific line item or entry, please record your comments in the box below and press the submit button. Your questions or comments will be sent to the City's Director of Finance, Bernie Hayen.  If you would like Mr. Hayen to respond to you, please include either a phone number or email address.
