Finance and Treasury

The City of Dunkirk's Finance and Treasury functions are conducted by two partner departments, the Fiscal Affairs Office and the Treasurer's office. Each office is responsible for a segment of these duties and together they insure that the citizens of Dunkirk tax dollars are spent in accordance with the budget and per all applicable regulations.

The Fiscal Affairs Office is responsible for managing the day to day financial activities of the City.  These responsibilities include payroll processing, Accounts Payable processing, and other expenditure management processes.

Alternatively the Treasurer's Office is responsible for activities related to accounts receivable and cash management.  Duties include collecting property tax payments, water payments, and funds transfers within the City's portfolio.

In addition the Fiscal Affairs office is responsible, under the direction of the Mayor, for the preparation of the Mayor's annual budget message.  This process involves meeting with the City's department leaders to formulate the necessary level of funding and coordinating with the Treasurer's Office to forecast revenue streams.  This website is used as a medium for disseminating the budget information to the public through the links below
