Fiscal Transparency

The City of Sonoma manages its budget and finances through a multi-fund accounting system. The General Fund serves as the City’s primary operating fund, accounting for all assets and liabilities not restricted to a specific purpose. It provides the resources necessary to support the City’s day-to-day operations, including both administrative functions and core operating expenses.

OpenGov

In order to make City financials more transparent to the public, the City has launched OpenGov, the leader in government performance management. This new platform will allow us to collaborate more effectively, make smarter, data-driven decisions and achieve greater transparency to our community. It is an intuitive, easy-to-use interface that presents financial information visually, with graphs, charts and numbers, not spreadsheets.

The opening chart in OpenGov shows City-wide Revenue and Expenditures. Use the Filter and View tabs to see information for other funds or by Department.
