FY2013 Budget Presentation
CITY of PRATTVILLE
Approved Budget
For Fiscal Year 2012/13
As of August 6, 2013
2
The City of Prattville, like other governmental entities throughout the nation, has had to tighten its fiscal belt. In the
enclosed 2012-2013 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
2013, the city anticipates total revenues of $36,602,933.92, a $1,524,795.08 decrease when compared to FY 2012, due
to conservative growth in revenues as well as the 1 cent sales tax increase beginning to sunset.
Though challenging, the City of Prattville’s quest for the 2012-2013 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.
3
Revenues

Expenditures
The 2012-2013 budget reflects the following:
