Introducing Our New Financial Transparency Site

Increasing Fullerton's transparency by showing you how the City spends your taxpayer dollars

Introduction

Fullerton employees often get asked questions like, "How much does Public Safety overtime cost the City?" Or "How much does the City pay for CalPERS?" They're great questions!

Fullerton is committed to transparency. That's why I'm excited to share our new Financial Transparency Site - an interactive site that lets you explore the City's Annual Report or Monthly Budget Versus Actuals Report. For example, you can see how much money Fullerton generated and spent in 2017, and how much money the City paid Public Safety for overtime.

Below are the questions we receive most often about Fullerton's finances. Click on the graphics that interest you most, and you'll be brought to our Financial Transparency Site where you can explore the financial info in greater detail. For example, lets say you want to see how much money Fullerton generates. Click on "How much money does Fullerton generate," and you can then compare how much money the City made each month in 2017.

If you have questions on how to use our new Site, scroll down to the bottom of this page to download our Financial Transparency Site Guide. If you have any questions that aren't answered in that section, email them to [email protected]. Someone from the City will respond ASAP!

OpenGov is the technology company we have partnered with to create our site. You'll see OpenGov's name on the site, as well as the guide, so we want to ensure you understand the relationship between Fullerton and OpenGov.
