City finance director briefs Satellite Beach Youth Council on budget and audit timeline
Summary
Britney Jumper, the city’s support services/finance director, gave the youth council an overview of city budgeting, noting a $2.324 billion overall budget, a general fund just over $13 million and an audit scheduled before Thanksgiving.
At the Oct. 28 Satellite Beach Youth Council meeting, Support Services Director Britney Jumper gave members a concise, introductory briefing on the city’s finances and how municipal budgeting and audits work.
Jumper described the department structure supporting city finance, the fiscal year (Oct. 1–Sept. 30) and the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) used to review the past fiscal year. She told members the city’s overall budget is about $2,324,000,000 and the general fund is just over $13,000,000, noting that roughly 60% of general‑fund revenue comes from property taxes.
She said auditors would be on site before Thanksgiving and that the audit report is typically presented to the city council in February or March. Jumper invited members to request more detailed presentations and suggested that future youth‑council sessions could include department‑specific briefings to help members learn how city services are funded and run.
The briefing concluded with staff offering to share the budget book and online resources, and with an invitation to schedule a deeper follow‑up presentation for members who want to study budget lines or fiscal projects in more detail.
