City of WinchesterBUDGET
Th e accounts of the City are organized into funds. A fund is a group of related accounts used to control money that has been earmarked for specifi c activities or objectives. Of the City’s adopted budget, most of the big spending decisions occur within the General Fund.
General Fund (GF)Th e fund where the City has the most discretion is the General Fund. Th e two major sources of funding are general property taxes and other local taxes combined. Th ese two sources make up over 83% of the General Fund budget.
Capital Improvement Plan (CIP)Every year, the City adopts a plan for capital improvements for the next fi ve years. Capital Improvements are projects such as street construction, public buildings, traffi c systems, park improvements, sewers, water infrastructure, etc. Capital projects tend to be costly, so the City issues bonds to investors to help cover the cost.
OpenGovTh e City’s off ers an online interactive budget transparency tool that allows users to explore the City’s budget and see how money is spent. Check back oft en as updates are posted regularly.
