Key issues affecting the 2023 - 2024 budget process include maintaining the City's ability to provide current levels of service, ensuring that all
new programs were aligned with the Mayor's and Council's priorities, and providing adequate fund balances and reserves. Major budget
highlights include:
Through the COVID-19 pandemic, City revenues exceeded projections and expenditures were closely constrained. However, severe
and geopolitical events in 2022 are causing uncertainty in projections, and a mild recession is currently anticipated in 2023.
Demand for services ꟷ including public safety, human services, and transportation ꟷ continues to increase faster than expected revenue
There is a growing need in human services (homelessness and mental health).
Salaries and benefits represent 56% of the General Fund budget. Overall, about 86% of General Fund expenditures are non-discretionary.
SERVICE
Providing transparent government service.
ENVIRONMENT
Stewarding our environment.
ECONOMY
Encouraging a diverse and thriving marketplace for
consumers and businesses.
