Overview
The City of Webster Groves launched a new five-year fiscal plan as a forecasting tool in January of 2022. The tool has been updated for the FY2023 proposed budget and the following information shows the changes in the forecast as budgeting decisions are made. At this time the tool only applies to the General Fund of the City. This tool provides policy-makers with an understanding of the impact of decisions in an immediate budget year on the future spending of the City. It also provides for a retroactive look at actual revenue collections and spending growth to inform the future forecast of the City.
The Five-Year Plan is built on using the average growth rate from Fiscal Years 2018 to 2022. Those growth rates for both revenue and expenditures are available below in separate files.
The Five-Year Plan is subject to refinement and revision by the City Finance Department as improved estimates and actual collection/expenditure levels are gathered. Further modification for remaining funds of the City will be included in the future.
