Budgets

Per the City's Charter, the City of Kennedale's fiscal year (FY) begins on the first day of October and ends on the last day of the following September. On or before the fifteenth day of August each year, the City Manager shall submit to the City Council a balanced budget for the ensuing fiscal year to meet the goals and objectives of the City Council and provide a budget message.

The Council shall adopt the proposed budget — with or without amendment — after any required public hearing(s) and before the first day of the ensuing fiscal year. During the fiscal year, the Council shall have the authority to make budget adjustments for expenditures that could not, by reasonable thought and attention, have been included in the original budget.

Proposed and adopted budgets are filed with the City Secretary's Office as well as any amendments. Recent years' budgets are linked below.
