Commission - Budget

The Commission’s Joint Powers Agreement provides that each member city contributes toward the annual operating budget based on its share of the taxable market value of all real property within the watershed to the total area in the watershed.  The Commission’s 2009 Operating Budget and Member Assessments are available for download. The 2009 operating budget was approved at the Commission’s May 14, 2008, meeting. 

All financial accounting is handled by the Commissions' Treasurer, an elected officer.  Monthly Treasurer's Reports are prepared, reviewed and approved by the Commissioners at their monthly meetings.  Details of the Commission’s expenditures show year-end totals and monthly expenditures for each accounting category.

The Commission’s financial statements currently are being prepared by the firm of Johnson & Company, Ltd.  A copy of the 2007 financial review is provided in the Commission’s Annual Report and includes a balance sheet, statement of revenue and expenditures, and various notes.  The Commission accounts for receipts and disbursements on the cash basis.  Accrual entries are made for year-end financial statement presentation.
