Thorough documentation supports accountability, audits, and
future budget cycles. Transparency is both a legal and
ethical obligation.

**Audit Trail:** Retain all versions of the budget,
amendment memos, council meeting materials, and
approval documents. Organize by fiscal year and
fund for easy retrieval.

**Assumptions Memo:** Document revenue and expenditure
assumptions in a standalone memo. Update when
circumstances change. Future staff will rely on this.

**Public Access:** Publish the adopted budget, summaries,
and key reports on the city website. Ensure formats
are searchable and accessible. Comply with open
records laws.

**Version Control:** When amendments occur, maintain
a clear record of what changed, why, and when.
A single authoritative final document avoids
confusion.
