Confused by some of the terms overheard while discussing the budget? We get it! Check out our quick glossary of budget terms below: o Balanced Budget: A plan where on-going revenues = planned expenses. It means the City isn’t spending more than it brings in. o Contingency Fund: Money set aside “just in case.” It’s there to help in emergencies, or for unexpected costs, WITHOUT dipping into critical services. o General Fund: The main account that pays for everyday services, such as police, fire, parks, and administration. Funded by sales tax, fees, and more. o Enterprise Fund: Used for services that charge a fee, such as water and sewer. These funds must cover their own costs without using tax dollars. o Capital Improvement Project (CIP): Big, long-term investments, like roads, water lines, or public buildings. These aren’t everyday expenses, but major upgrades. o Grant Funds: External money awarded to the City for specific projects. Helps us do more without using local tax dollars! o Operating Budget: The City’s day-to-day spending, staffing, supplies, utilities, and ongoing services. o One-time Expenses: Funds spent on a non-recurring project or purchase (like a dump truck or building a bridge.) o Levy vs. Rate (Property Taxes): The levy is the total amount collected. The rate is what each property is taxed. It’s possible for the levy to stay flat even if the property values go up as long as the rate goes down! o Reserve Funds: Savings set aside for future needs and/or stability. Things like debt service or upcoming projects. #CityCents #KnowYourCityBudget #GlobeAZ #BudgetBasics

No First Friday in July 🇺🇸 We will not be hosting a First Friday event in July, as it falls on Independence Day, Friday, July 4th. This decision was made out of respect for the holiday and the well-being of our community. It allows our vendors, staff, and guests to spend time with loved ones and take part in local Fourth of July celebrations, including fireworks! Most importantly, our City’s first responders will be operating at full capacity that evening, ensuring the safety of residents and visitors during one of the busiest nights of the year. We do not want to add unnecessary strain to our police, fire, and emergency teams who are already committed to keeping our community safe. Additionally, we have historically had to cancel our July event due to heat advisory warnings, so we are preemptively hoping that everyone can stay cool. Thank you for your understanding and continued support. We look forward to welcoming you back for First Friday on August 1st for another fun and exciting community event!

What is a “Contingency Reserve?" That’s a portion of the budget set aside for unexpected needs. (Similar to having a personal savings account for emergencies!) In FY26 Globe is building a $3M contingency fund policy, a best practice solution for long-term stability. #CityCents #GlobeAZ #BudgetBasics

o Myth: “The City raised property taxes.” o Fact: Property taxes haven’t gone up in years! In fact, this year Globe kept the property tax levy flat and REDUCED the tax rate from 1.2221 per $100,000 in assessed value to 1.1892! The only increase in the levy came from new construction happening in Globe! (NOT higher property tax bills.) #CityCents #GlobeAZ #BudgetMythBusters #TaxDropLikeItsHot #EconomicWin
