Taxpayer Monthly Statement
In the interest of providing the citizens of Springfield more information on city finances, a Taxpayer Monthly Statement has been created. Citizens will now be able to track how the city is tracking against its budget month-by-month.
Revenue and expense highlights are spelled out at the beginning of the statement. These highlights provide some insight into recent activity. All items listed on the statement are explained. Please see the footnotes for their definition or explanation.
The concept of fiscal transparency is put into action when information is shared with all members of the community. The Taxpayer Monthly Statement is shared with the taxpayers to build an understanding of the city’s finances, and to build trust that our city is opening the books and sharing the information it should. Thanks to our taxpayers for their belief, their trust, and their continual investment in Springfield.
Thanks to City Comptroller Patrick Burns and City Councilor Timothy C. Allen for their work in preparing the Taxpayer Monthly Statement.
