Finance & Administration

The Office of the Director of Finance and Administration was created by Council Ordinance in March 2005 to manage the newly established Department.  Functionally, it consists of four service groups: Financial Services, which includes Accounting, Budget, Purchasing and Treasury; Risk Management, which includes the Workers' Compensation and Safety programs; Administrative Services, which includes Department Administration, Central Services and the City Clerk's office; and Parking Services. Each of these programs provides a variety of services both internal to City government and external to the Boise community at large.

The Finance and Administration Department plays a key role in every financial transaction ranging from the processing of payroll checks, buying and selling of investments, the issuance of debt financing, the development of contractual relationships for services, the establishment of public/private partnerships, and external financial reporting.

Leadership of the Department is vested in the Director, who also serves as the City's Chief Financial Officer.
