Fiscally Ready Communities Nuts and Bolts: Fees, Fines, Purchasing, and Receipting
MSU Extension and the Michigan Department of Treasury will share why fees, fines, purchasing, and receipting are important for fiscal health.
Building a culture of fiscal sustainability is essential to local government fiscal health. Well-thought-out policies on fees, fines, purchasing, and receipting lead to clear rules and fair treatment, which are essential pillars to that culture of fiscal sustainability. This webinar will include a deep dive into best practices related to fees, fines, purchasing, receipting, and more. It will cover what they are, why such policies are necessary, how they contribute to local fiscal health, and how to get started on implementation.
Who should attend:
Elected and appointed officials in local government, administrators, and staff.
This training is geared toward appointed and elected officials with entry and intermediate budgeting knowledge.
What will be covered:
- Building a culture of fiscal sustainability
- Policy best practices for fee and fine structure
- Case study examples
- How strong receipting and purchasing practices strengthen local fiscal health
- Best practices for implementation
