Budget
The Denali Borough creates an annual budget using a Zero-Based Budgeting method, meaning all expenses are reviewed annually and budgeted for from a "zero-base." The Finance department and Mayor, along with borough staff input, begin budget planning and preparation in January, with the annual budget passed before the fiscal year beginning.
The Budget Message is presented to the public and Denali Borough Assembly along with the introduction of the Mayor's recommended annual budget. The budget message includes information on a budget narratives and priorities, borough information, budget comparisons, budget legislation, and grant information.
