Fiscally Ready Communities Webinar

The Michigan Department of Treasury and Michigan State University Extension (MSU Extension) are reminding you of our next Fiscally Ready Communities training opportunity. This FREE training is an hour-and-a-half webinar that's designed to assist appointed and elected officials.

Nuts and Bolts: Fees, Fines, Purchasing, and Receipting

Building a culture of fiscal sustainability is essential to local government fiscal health. Well-thought-out policies on fees, fines, purchasing, and receipting lead to clear rules and fair treatment, which are essential pillars to that culture of fiscal sustainability. This webinar will include a deep dive into best practices related to fees, fines, purchasing, receipting, and more. It will cover what they are, why such policies are necessary, how they contribute to local fiscal health, and how to get started on implementation.

What will be covered:

  • Building a culture of fiscal sustainability
  • Policy best practices for fee and fine structure
  • Case study examples
  • How strong receipting and purchasing practices strengthen local fiscal health
  • Best practices for implementation
