Long Range Financial Forecast
The City's Long Range Financial Forecast (LRFF) provides an overview of the economy, an analysis of the City's current revenue and expenditure picture, a variety of forecasts on future financial condition, and a discussion of future financial issues.

The LRFF presents a model of likely future year financial events and their impact on the City's financial base.
