Cost Allocation Plan

The City completes an annual cost allocation plan to accurately and consistently allocate central service costs to enterprise agencies receiving services. Charges associated with cost allocation are reflected in the inter-departmental charges and billings in the operating budget.

The plan is developed using actual expenditure data from the prior year. For the 2027 budget, the plan will be developed in 2026, using actuals from 2025.
