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 two divisions: the Financial Services Division, which includes Accounting, Budget, Purchasing, Treasury and Collections; and the Administrative Services Division, which includes Department Administration, City Print & Mail Services, the Office of the City Clerk; the Office of Enforcement Services and the Office of Fleet 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 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.
