  • Budget Review 2023-24 City of Portland BUDGET HIGHLIGHTS •

    Portland, OR
    Budget

    The City of Portland's FY 2023-24 budget totals $7.1 billion, a 1% decrease from the prior year driven largely by a $391 million reduction in debt proceeds, though the expenditure-only portion increased 2% to $4.2 billion with significant growth in personnel services and capital projects. The city identified three budget priorities: public safety (including 43 new police officers and $5.3 million in funding), charter change implementation ($2.5 million), and economic recovery and livability ($43.3 million for shelter beds and services for unhoused residents, plus $15.8 million for trash and graffiti removal). The budget office characterized FY 2024 as a "pinch year" for the General Fund due to expiring pandemic relief funds, with an estimated $66 million in ongoing programs currently funded through one-time dollars that will require alternative funding sources in future years.

    Budget

    The City of Portland adopted a $7.1 billion budget for FY 2023-24, representing a 1% decrease from the previous year, with the expenditure-only portion increasing 2% to $4.2 billion due to growth in personnel services and capital projects, particularly in the Water and Sewer funds.

The city characterized FY 2023-24 as a "pinch year" for the General Fund, with expiration of one-time pandemic relief funds and American Rescue Plan dollars creating budgetary pressure, while utility rate increases are held to 4.9% for water/sewer and parking fees increase 20 cents.

    Portland, OR
    Budget

    Portland's FY 2024-25 budget totals $8.3 billion, representing a 12% increase from the previous year, with significant capital expenditures of $4.6 billion driven largely by a $329 million increase in the Water Fund for the Bull Run Filtration project and $531 million in water construction debt proceeds. Major budget challenges include managing expiring federal American Rescue Plan funding and declining downtown property tax values, while Portland Clean Energy funds exceed expectations at $193.8 million with a projected fund balance growth of $170 million. The budget incorporates a charter transition to a new city government structure, budgeting $4.1 million for transition costs and funding new administrative positions, along with a new $5.1 million Urban Flood Safety Benefit fee to be paid through General Fund dollars.
