  • Analysis of the Mayor’s Recommended Budget Estimate for the City of

    Syracuse, NY
    Budget

    Bonadio & Co., LLP prepared an analysis of Syracuse, New York's Mayor's Recommended Budget for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2026, submitted to the City Common Council on April 30, 2025. The analysis examines revenue, expenditure, and fund balance trends to identify concerns such as unusual growth, reliance on one-time revenue sources, and fund balance depletion. Syracuse, a city of approximately 146,000 residents, faces ongoing financial challenges typical of older urban centers, including modest revenue growth heavily dependent on sales tax, property taxes, and state aid that has not consistently kept pace with rising expenditures in employee benefits, public safety, and infrastructure maintenance.

  • 1 BUFFALO FISCAL STABILITY AUTHORITY

    Buffalo, NY
    Budget

    The Buffalo Fiscal Stability Authority's third-quarter analysis of the Buffalo Municipal Housing Authority (BMHA) for fiscal year 2024-25 shows the agency operating within its overall consolidated budget as of March 31, 2025, with revenues of $47.3 million (79.2% of budget) and expenses of $45.7 million (78.9% of budget). However, the Marine Drive Apartments property is significantly underperforming, with actual expenses at 113% of budget resulting in a $1.1 million net operating loss—$1.0 million worse than projected—driven by elevated general, maintenance, administrative, and utility expenses, though partially offset by $0.5 million in favorable rental revenues. Additional notable items include a $2.05 million transfer of Fosdick Field to the Buffalo City School District and a 17.2% employee vacancy rate across BMHA, with the Capital Improvements department experiencing a particularly high 42.9% vacancy rate.

  • Mayor's Budget Message

    York, PA
    Budget

    The City of York submitted its proposed $104 million budget for 2017, which includes a General Fund of over $45 million and a 2% property tax reduction while remaining on track for a 15% reduction over five years. To balance the budget amid rising healthcare and pension costs, the city froze or eliminated vacant positions and held department budgets firm, while also implementing a 10% sewer fee increase and 3.9% refuse fee increase due to infrastructure maintenance and contract costs. Mayor C. Kim Bracey emphasized the structural financial challenges facing Third Class Cities in Pennsylvania and called on state legislators to address the inadequate revenue system that forces municipalities to over-rely on property taxes.
