Finance Office

The Finance Office is responsible for the outflow of city funds.  They make sure that the money spent by the municipal government is equal to the money coming in to the City.  Staff does this through cash reconciliation and cash management for all city accounts and departments. They are in charge of fulfilling Federal and State requirements such as quarterly reports, IRS reports and 1099s.  Daily responsibilities also include printing checks and transmitting deposits for accounts payable (approximately 170 accounts and 300 invoices per week) and the city’s weekly payroll (about 130 paychecks per week), adding and eliminating employees, and handling personnel benefit deductions.   

The Finance Director, Juli Millett, oversees the staff and functions of both the Treasurer and Finance Offices. Her duties involve maintaining the City’s investments, cash management and working with auditors to meet government accounting standards.  The Director meets with department heads to discuss expenditures and revenues and recommend a budget for each department.  She will analyze the City’s revenue and expenses and work with the City Manager and Assessor to determine recommendations in cuts or increases and present those budgets to the City Council for approval.  The Director also carries out other tasks as assigned by the City Manager; an example of this is the current creation of the City’s first 5-year Capital Improvements Plan.
