Budgeting Process

The Lathrop Manteca Fire District's Budget is a requirement of state law. The budget reflects The District's financial commitments towards the fiscal years plan for services. The budgeting process involves review of the closing fiscal years budget performance, identification of services for the next budget cycle, estimating revenues, and programming estimated expenditures to meet the intended service level. The budget review process is a year round re-assessment process that identifies revenues collected, expenditures, and alignment with the budget to date actuals. The LMFD is required to have a preliminary budget adopted before July 1 of the coming fiscal year, and a final budget on or before October 1st. The Fiscal Year for the district starts on July 1st and ends on June 30th.

The Public is highly encouraged to provide input in the services it desires and the prioritization of these services. This can be done by attending any public hearing or meeting notice. In addition, the public can offer this input by participating in the LMFD's survey found by clicking here.
