The City of Sonoma has taken many steps to increase financial transparency and accountability. These include multi-year financial forecasting and capital planning, improved cost-recovery for fee-based services, an updated financial reserves policy, and monthly reporting to the City Council on revenues, expenditures, and investment transactions.
