    The City Manager presented the Fiscal Year 2025 Operating and Capital Budget to the Mayor and Council on April 9, 2024, emphasizing long-term financial sustainability, strategic investment, and employee retention as key priorities. The budget reflects adjustments to the previously planned 5-year General Fund Investment Plan due to forecasted revenue decreases from the State's new flat income tax policy, which will reduce the city's shared income tax collections for FY25 and FY26 more than initially expected. The FY25 budget continues funding for public safety equipment and facilities, collector streets per Proposition 411 commitments, and adds a $6 million local match requirement for a Housing Choice grant award.

    Mayor George C. Brown's 2025 budget address for the City of Wilkes-Barre identifies two major fiscal challenges: the potential loss of approximately $750,000 in annual real estate tax revenue from Commonwealth Health Wilkes-Barre General Hospital and an over 11% increase in employee healthcare costs.

The budget emphasizes cost-cutting measures in overtime and contract work, continued staffing priorities for Fire, Police, and DPW departments, infrastructure improvements including $1.1 million in Solomon's Creek flood protection and $1.5 million for Brookside Levee protection, and quality-of-life initiatives such as community policing programs and street repairs.
