| Why 2003 budget data? In order to fully analyze the details of the budget for any year, that year must be "closed" financially. The 2005 budget year has just begun; the 2004 budget year is probably not completely finalized yet. 2003 should be done, with very few "open" or loose ends. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| This beautiful logo, which can be found on the City of Niagara Falls Website, shows the beauty and power of Niagara Falls. A $109,270,283 budget for 2003 is a powerful tool also. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Background: | The City of Niagara Falls operates on a January 1 - December 31st fiscal calendar. This budget covers the 2003 fiscal year. We start with the budget, as published and printed by the City of Niagara Falls, and will then request further budget information with the ultimate goal of presenting every dollar raised and spent by a locality during a budget year. All of the budget information contained herein will have come from the City of Niagara Falls officials. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| The Players: | The people that put the budget together, and approve it. The Mayor, and City Councilmembers. Niagara Falls has a "strong" Mayor form of government. For additional background view the Charter of the City of Niagara Falls within the FAIR site. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| The heart and soul of FAIR is raw budget data. The money that comes in (taxes i.e. revenue), and the money that gets spent. In as great a detail as we can acquire. You can find the 2003 City of Niagara Falls budget data titles below. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
