MEMO TO HISTORIC
PRESERVATION COMMISSION Topic: Historic Preservation Commission Budget The Finance department will no longer produce monthly budget report ledgers for the Historic Preservation Commission. The budget for the Meridian Arts Commission has now been set up in OpenGov.com, where it is publicly accessible at any time, along with the entire City of Meridian budget. OpenGov.com is an online budget reporting website which is used by the City of Meridian to foster transparency, performance-based budgeting, collaborative procurement, and digital resident experience and engagement. The goal is to have the budget data and information at the user’s fingertips (ie: commissioners) to see their financial information at any given time. The data is updated nightly from MIP (the financial software the City uses). The Historic Preservation Commission budget can be found at: https://meridianid.opengov.com/transparency/#/12604/accountType=expenses&embed=n&breakdown=3a47e743-1b70-4bca-bb63-cd0945429d52¤tYearAmount=cumulative¤tYearPeriod=years&graph=bar&legendSort=desc&proration=true&saved_view=null&selection=F2C4694865FAD1DE854FA516F5513DAB&projections=null&projectionType=null&highlighting=null&highlightingVariance=null&year=2022&selectedDataSetIndex=null&fiscal_start=2022&fiscal_end=latest If any Commissioner or any member of the public has a question, concern, or would like to request more information about the Historic Preservation Commission’s budget, please contact Cassandra Schiffler, Arts and Culture Coordinator at cschiffler@meridiancity.org .
