Since incorporation, Santa Clarita has won annual awards for its strong fiscal management and investments. The City's growth in sales tax revenue, outside grant funding and a "good business budget" have helped to keep Santa Clarita a strong city. "We've worked hard to be fiscally smart and continue the trend of higher revenues to expenditures, with a continued growth in our reserves," explains Mayor and Councilmember Cameron Smyth about the City's annual budget.
