Upland’s New Online Financial Transparency Center

Ever wondered how much Upland spends on police services each year? Or what percentage of the budget is allocated to Development Services? Now, you don’t have to guess. The City of Upland has launched the Financial Transparency Center, a new online portal that gives residents real-time access to the city’s budget and financial data.

What Can You Find?

The Financial Transparency Center at UplandCA.ClearGov.com provides a detailed breakdown of the City’s revenues, expenditures, and department budgets. You can:
🔹 Explore spending trends over the past seven years
🔹 View department-specific budgets, like police services, which include patrol costs, animal services, administration, investigations, and more
🔹 Compare funding allocations for different city services

A New Era of Budgeting in Upland

For the first time, Upland has adopted a two-year budget, covering Fiscal Years 2024-2025 and 2025-2026. While these budgets were finalized last June, they can be adjusted as needed, ensuring flexibility in city spending.

“We wanted residents to have live, real-time access to the latest budget information,” said Assistant City Manager Stephen Parker. “Transparency has been a priority, and this tool makes it easier for residents to find the information they need—all in one place.”

The portal features colorful, easy-to-read charts dating back to 2019, making it simple to track financial trends and city spending over time.

Looking Ahead: More Transparency in 2025

Next year, the City of Upland plans to launch another online portal focused on capital improvement projects, keeping residents informed about infrastructure investments and upcoming developments.
