Budget and Capital Improvements
 
The City of Gardner annual operating budget year begins January 1st. The City produces a multi-year budget document that is then updated and revised on an annual basis. Along with the operating budget, a ten year capital improvement program is maintained for all general government activities as well as the City's two utilities. The City owned Gardner Electric completes its budgeting seperately, but is shown as part of the State of Kansas Budget Form provided at the bottom of this page.
