HOW IS THE CITY’S GENERAL FUND ALLOCATED?

Once the City collects taxes and other revenues, the monies must be spent efficiently to provide services to the citizens and businesses of the City.

Annually, the City Manager submits a budget for City Council’s adoption. The proposed budget must not include expenditures that exceed anticipated revenue. The budget process is approached with a focus on maintaining core services critical to residents, while simultaneously identifying sustainable savings that strengthen the City’s ability to deliver services more efficiently and effectively.

Suffolk City Council adopted a balanced budget of $698.0 million, an increase of 7.3% over the previous year. The General Fund budget totals $237.8 million, a 5.6% increase from FY21.
