    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.

  • City of Albany | PFM Report

    Albany, NY
    Budget

    The City of Albany commissioned Public Financial Management (PFM) to analyze the city's finances for fiscal years 2017-2020 and identify measures to reduce expenditures, increase revenues, and improve service efficiency, building on previous recommendations from the State's Financial Restructuring Board. The analysis was conducted in response to the State of New York's request that Albany reduce its dependence on State aid, and was informed by a 2015 Albany County shared services strategy aimed at enabling jurisdictions to comply with property tax caps and access State tax rebates. PFM's interdisciplinary team of consultants reviewed the city's financial documents and met with city officials and department heads to develop recommendations for phasing down State aid while increasing municipal efficiency.
