FTM Budget Transparency Series

FTM file. 

In an effort to inform and make things as transparent as possible for the residents of Fort Thomas, Fort Thomas Matters will begin peeling back the budget, taxes and expenditures of the City of Fort Thomas in a series of reports.

The amended budget for fiscal year July 1 2014 - June 30 2015 was voted on at the last council meeting and passed unanimously. Each June, the finance committee meets with city staff and after getting requests from each department and committee, will allocate funds for the next fiscal year. This year's finance committee is comprised of John Muller, Lisa Kelly and Roger Peterman.

The following June when a new budget is being drawn, the previous year's budget is amended to reflect the actual revenues, expenditures and surpluses available.

The amended budget was first read on June 1, 2015 and was voted on and adopted on June 15, 2015.
