The document explains the city's Council-Manager form of government structure, including the roles of the City Council (11 members), City Manager, Mayor, School Committee, and Superintendent in the budget process, where expenditures must balance revenues and the City Council can only reduce—not increase—line items in the proposed budget. The report addresses how municipalities must balance fixed costs like debt service and pensions while prioritizing areas such as education, public safety, economic development, and public services.

Wisconsin state budget law requires the City of Madison to prepare an annual budget with a public hearing, including anticipated revenues, proposed appropriations by department, comparisons to prior year actuals, and information on indebtedness and surplus. Madison's budget process divides into capital and operating budgets, each passing through three phases: Requested Budget (agency submissions), Executive Budget (Mayor's proposal), and Adopted Budget (Common Council approval). The capital budget includes an additional review stage by the Comptroller and Capital Improvement Review Committee before the Executive Budget phase, which recommends projects for inclusion based on long-lived assets like land and buildings.
