The Annual Operating Budget document serves not only as a financial plan for the immediate future but also as a management and communications tool outlining the City Council's vision and key initiatives for the year. By focusing on public safety, improving recreational opportunities and neighborhoods, delivering the highest quality of public services, preserving and enhancing the City's economic prosperity, and celebrating the diversity of our citizens, we have outlined plans to make the City of Lake Elsinore the desirable place to live, work and play.
