  • City of Dearborn Public Hearing 2025–2026 Budget List of Documents Page(s) A.

    Dearborn, MI
    Budget

    The City of Dearborn held a public hearing on its proposed 2025–2026 budget as of May 1, 2025, presenting a balanced General Fund budget expected to contribute $230,689 to the fund balance reserve. The budget faces financial challenges including revenue growth falling short of expenditure inflation, state taxation limitations, and rising retirement and debt service obligations, with personnel and non-discretionary spending comprising 79% of general fund uses. Revenue is projected to increase $3.6 million (2.5%), primarily from property tax gains of $1.7 million and increased charges for services of $1.1 million, while expenditures increase $3.6 million (2.4%), largely due to $5.7 million in additional wages and benefits; budget priorities allocate 70% of subsidies to Public Safety, followed by Administrative (11%), Public Works & Facilities (9%), Parks & Recreation (8%), and Economic Development (2%).

  • 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.

  • 2026-2027 Budget - City of Knoxville

    Knoxville, TN
    Budget

The budget prioritizes public safety ($102.1 million for police and firefighter salaries and benefits), affordable housing ($8 million investment including support for the Transforming Western partnership), and parks and quality-of-life services, while withdrawing $6 million from reserves to address inflationary pressures that are outpacing revenue growth. Despite budgetary challenges from 2.2 percent sales tax growth forecasts against 3 percent anticipated inflation, Knoxville maintains strong financial reserves of $114.6 million in its General Fund Balance and holds all-time high bond ratings with the lowest debt per capita among Tennessee's six largest cities.
