2012 The City of San José’s Budget Crisis INSIDE Introduction The City’s Budget
San Jose, CA
Budget
San José, Northern California's largest city with nearly one million residents, faces ongoing multi-year budget shortfalls with expenses outpacing revenues over the past decade. The city's general fund relies primarily on property and sales taxes, though San José receives only a small percentage of taxes collected (9% of property taxes and 12% of sales taxes), with 61% of expenditures dedicated to public safety and community services. The city is required by charter to approve a balanced budget annually by June 30 through a nine-month community-based process that includes multiple opportunities for public input.

METROPOLITAN GOVERNMENT OF NASHVILLE AND DAVIDSON COUNTY JOHN COOPER

Budget

Mayor John Cooper presented Nashville's FY 2022 operating budget, characterized as an "investment" budget following the previous year's "crisis" budget that implemented hiring and spending freezes during the COVID-19 recession. The budget includes historic commitments to public education, transportation, community safety, and workforce development, enabled by strong property value growth that reduces the effective property tax rate to $3.288—the lowest among major Tennessee cities and more than $1.00 below the 25-year average. Metro projects over 5% better-than-expected revenues from activity taxes plus federal stimulus funds, allowing for approximately $180 million in strategic investments while prioritizing equitable prosperity across all Nashville neighborhoods.
