Operating Budgets

Early each year, City staff begin working on the next year's operating budget in order to present a proposed document to the City Council in early summer.  City Council members and City staff will work throughout the summer to refine the budget before it is adopted in the fall.

2009 Operating Budget
Regional governments are facing significant challenges to meet demands for key services with diminishing resources. Once again, Olathe's growth means an ever-increasing demand for services. But slowing sales tax revenue, the primary source for funding government operations, places an ever-increasing pressure on the City budget. The 2009 budget focuses on applying limited resources to Council and citizen priorities and builds upon the foundation for an economically sustainable future.
