City of Glendale - Management and Budget

The Management and Budget Department consists of the Budget and Research and Grants Administration divisions.

The Budget and Research division provides budget development and budget management services to city departments, executive management and City Council.  The Budget Department provides these services by conducting independent, objective and accurate expenditure and revenue analyses, as well as expenditure and revenue forecasts.  These analyses and forecasts are based on the information available at the time they are produced and are developed in conjunction with all other city departments.

The Grants Administration division is responsible for coordinating the city’s efforts to identify and obtain alternative funding for priority projects that advance the mission, goals and objectives established by the City Council and senior management.  The grants administrator disseminates information about grant opportunities, writes grant applications, provides technical assistance in grant writing and implementation, maintains a grant database, administers the Grant Matching Fund and maintains positive relationships with government and private funders.
