FY2012 Budget Presentation
CITY of PRATTVILLE
Amended Budget
as of 6/19/12
For Fiscal Year 2011/12
2
The City of Prattville, like other governmental entities throughout the nation, has had to tighten its fiscal belt. In the
enclosed 2011-2012 budget, the administration is presenting plans that will not only serve as a fiscal guide for the up-
coming year, but also is a conservative projection and estimate for revenues and expenditures. The major sources of
funding for the City of Prattville are Sales Taxes, Business Licenses, Property Taxes, and Lodging Taxes. For FY
2012, the city anticipates total revenues of $38,098,209, a $4,597,559 increase when compared to FY 2011, due to con-
servative growth in revenues as well as a full year with the 1 cent sales tax increase and the increased wastewater fees.
Though challenging, the City of Prattville’s quest for the 2011-2012 fiscal year will include:
Providing an adequate level of services to citizens;
Continuing accountability measures to assist the city in weathering the economic slump;
The continuation of adequate public safety and public services to citizens;
The replacement of aging vehicles to reduce the strain on a depleted staff of mechanics
The economic downturn in the nation has been an historic event in every economic sector, but realizing the detrimental
impact to municipal governments is a realization that all must face.
The strategies the City of Prattville has taken to deal with the impact of the economic downturn include:
Reduce overtime;
Freeze unfilled personnel positions and crosstrain employees;
Deep cuts to departmental operating budgets;
Encouraged inter-departmental cooperation
Renegotiated city contracts
Implementation of limited duration 1% sales tax increase;
Implementation of a $10 per customer increase to all wastewater client until rate study can be completed
