Ep. 4 - Breaking Down How Taxes are Put to Work, as Our Transparency Portal & New Website Go Live

Finance Director/Chief Financial Officer Irwin Williams joins the podcast to provide an overview of the upcoming fiscal year’s proposed budget, while also touching on the brand new Transparency Portal and projects that aim to keep City services and programs financially sustainable. The conversation begins with a look at what percentage of a resident’s tax bill goes to the City of Cooper City (2:35). Then, we look at how those dollars are used for City services (5:50). Further along, we look at the difference between a government fund and proprietary fund (7:45). When it comes to the water meter replacement project, we learn how much money the City was not collecting due to faulty water meters (9:02). In looking at City investments and methods for paying for upcoming projects, Irwin provides details (12:27). We close our conversation with information on how our new Transparency Portal will help residents understand the budget (16:55).
