Developing and Managing Your Municipal Budget (9-26-22)

As an elected or appointed official, you are sure to have first-hand experience of “doing more with less.” Understanding capital budgeting and the techniques involved in creating a successful plan is important for all involved in the day-to-day operations of your municipality.

This in-classroom training course is designed to help municipal officials understand key concepts of financing, including capital budgeting, cash flow, and capitalization, so that they can apply them to their community and municipal operations. The presenter will demonstrate the differences between capital expenditures and operating expenses and explain the concept of present value. Case studies will illustrate the process municipalities went through to complete projects.

Participants will walk away from this training with an understanding of capital budgeting and the asset management process so that they can profitably apply them to add economic value to their community and improve their capital spending decisions.

This is a one day event.
