The Fiscal Year Proposed 2023-2024 Budget is hereby presented to the mayor and city council and is the result of several months of preparation by the councilmembers and city staff. This budget cycle has been conducted under a very different environment, as it is the first transmittal for both me as city manager and our finance director. Coming off the brink of a global pandemic, change in administration, and the nuisances of things happening around us, our staff has been committed to acting with resilience, ingenuity, and innovation to consistently meet the needs of the community. With that, I am pleased to present the City of Forest Park’s 2023-2024 Proposed Annual Budget – the annual financial roadmap for our municipality, with projected expenses of $38.7 M.
