Novi Playbook Budget Cover

Each year, City Council compiles a list of priorities that address topics such as public safety, parks, infrastructure, finance, etc. Resources are then allocated accordingly based on multiple year revenue projections. In today’s climate, recognizing additional cost savings opportunities is paramount and managing the revenue decline requires continued action. The decline is manageable in its scope with the right decisions. By City Charter, the budget must be approved by City Council in May.
