  • 2023-2024 Proposed Budget Summary Introduction

    Seattle, WA
    Budget

    Seattle's 2023-2024 Proposed Budget, the first under Mayor Bruce A. Harrell, totals approximately $7.4 billion in appropriations, including $1.6 billion in General Fund and $294 million from the JumpStart Payroll Expense Tax. This is the first biennial budget since the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted the city's normal budgeting cycle, and it addresses a significant General Fund deficit while prioritizing housing and homelessness, public safety, access to opportunity, healthy communities, climate and environment, transportation, and good government. Despite 40-year-high inflation, General Fund expenditure growth is held to effectively flat at 0.03% over 2022 levels, with the budget balanced partly through payroll tax revenue and conservative spending measures aimed at replenishing reserves.

  • 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.

  • BUDGET PROCESS AND CITIZEN ACCESS I. Budget Law and Budget Development

    Madison, WI
    Budget

    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.
