The City uses cost allocation for distributing costs associated with Mayor Council, City Attorney, City Administrator, City Clerk, Non-Departmental, Finance, Human Resources, 800 MHZ Radio System, Property/Liability Insurance and Planning.  These costs are allocated by various methods to the other funds within the City.  The City uses an outside consultant to ensure accurate allocation of cost in order to meet some grant restrictions and State mandates for some funds.
