Napa City Council Adopts Balanced Budget for 2022-23 Fiscal YearOn June 21, the Napa City Council unanimously voted to adopt the City’s balanced $110.8 million general fund budget for the upcoming 2022-2023 fiscal year.
“The City Council and City staff have worked meticulously to ensure we can deliver a balanced and reasonable budget for the upcoming fiscal year,” said Mayor Scott Sedgley. “We are confident this budget will allow us to use our City’s funds responsibly and effectively to keep delivering high-quality services for our residents, as well as make progress on the City Council’s top priorities, including stabilizing the City’s workforce, focusing on homelessness and housing, and addressing climate change.”
The adopted budget reflects an increase in the City’s General Fund revenue, which is estimated to meet or exceed pre-pandemic levels from 2019. Many of Napa’s revenue streams, including its sales tax, transient occupancy tax, business license tax, license and permit fees, as well as other revenues like park rentals, have begun to recover from the pandemic and rebounded faster than the City anticipated. Read on for the full story here.
