The budget is what allocates resources for government operations each year. This includes public safety response, refuse pick up, and maintenance of public parks, roads, and properties. It all goes back to the budget!

The operating budget funds day-to-day activity in the government and the capital budget funds major infrastructure projects. This initiative is focusing on the operating budget.

The Office of Management and Budget can help. Please feel free to reach out.

Directors and OMB staff contribute to a preliminary budget. The Mayor makes the decision on what to submit to Council. Legally, City Council passed the final budget document.

The administration tries to engage with all resident voices. The Neighborhood Services team conducts targeted outreach in areas that do not historically have high participation levels.

You may voice concerns directly to the Mayor’s Office, the Office of Management and Budget, or the individual office of your Council representative
