Budgets and Financials
Each year, a variety of budgetary decisions need to be made to balance the needs within the City of Woodstock. These choices are made with an eye towards the long term sustainability of the municipality's services and infrastructure, while also evaluating the short term needs of our residents and industry.
The City of Woodstock's budget is divided into two segments, a Capital and a Revenue Fund (or Operating) Budget. The Capital budget funds the purchase and rehabilitation or upgrades to large city-owned assets including buildings, land and roads, as well as the purchase of equipment such as vehicles and machinery. The Revenue Fund Budget provides the funds needed to operate our city facilities an operations on an ongoing basis. Operating expenses include all expenses that are not capital expenditures including wages, supplies, licences and the procurement of equipment that is not significant enough to be considered a capital asset.
