The City of Sarasota is governed by a "Commission - Manager" form of government. There are five City Commissioners, two are elected at-large and three are elected from single-member districts. All elections are nonpartisan. On the Friday following the second Tuesday in April of each year, the Commissioners select a Mayor and Vice Mayor. The City Commission appoints the City Manager, City Auditor and Clerk and City Attorney, who are known as the "Charter Officials."

We in the Finance Department want to take this opportunity to welcome you to the Finance and Accounting Department's web site. We will be adding information to our web page as items and projects are published and approved by the City Commission.
On September 20, 2004, the City Commission adopted the 2004 - 2005 Annual Financial Plan (Budget). The City Manager's Transmittal Letter and the Adopted Budget are available on our web site. The Transmittal Letter gives the reader an overview of the Budget for the City of Sarasota while the Budget document gives the details for departments and operations of the City.
We are proud to serve you, the citizens of our beautiful City, and we always will do our best to keep you informed of the financial condition of our great City. We welcome your comments at any time. You can reach us by e-mail or by phone at 954-4185. |
