FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT & STRATEGIC PLANNING

BUDGET SUMMARY

Financial Management and Strategic Planning (FMSP) is responsible for accounting, treasury, debt administration, payroll, budget, and purchasing functions. FMSP serves the City Council, City Commissions, City Manager, City departments, employees, and residents of Irvine. The department’s budget includes General Fund expenditures and cost

allocations for FY 2019-20 of $5,790,579 and revenues of $281,118, and for FY 2020-21 of $5,866,671 and revenues of $295,296. The large decrease in the budget compared to the previous year is due to the City’s reorganization of Human Resources, Risk Management, and Information Technology into a separate department to better serve the City. The budget provides funding for a total of 36 full-time and 0.8 part- time employees (in FTEs), as well as five Finance Commissioners for both the General Fund and all Special Funds.
