Finance

The  Department of Finance is the fiscal office of the City.  All receipts and disbursements are administered through this department.  Responsibilities include financial planning and reporting, taxation, utility receipts, payroll and retirement systems, cash and investment management, debt management, risk management support, purchasing, and fixed asset management.

The department's goal is to provide accurate and timely records, to invest all of the City's idle funds safely and in compliance with the Ohio Revised Code, to be at all times fiscally responsible, to assure that debt and obligations are settled in a timely manner, and to maximize revenues to which we are legally entitled.
