  • Budget Review 2023-24 City of Portland BUDGET HIGHLIGHTS •

    Portland, OR
    Budget

    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.

  • Springfieldmontco

    Springfield, IL
    Budget

    Springfield Township, Montgomery County, PA proposes a balanced 2022 operating budget of $18,315,318 with a real estate tax rate of 4.516 mills and earned income tax rate of 1.0%, maintaining the same real estate tax rate as 2021 due to decreased pension obligations and workers compensation costs. Residential taxpayers will see no change in real estate taxes but will benefit from a $6.32 reduction in the annual refuse service fee (from $231.86 to $225.54), driven by decreased recycling processing costs despite increases in waste disposal fees. The Township continues to fund operations through traditional revenue sources including real estate tax, earned income tax, and a local services tax enacted in 2019, with anticipated additional revenues of $45,000 from the local services tax in 2022.

  • City of Hazleton 2026 Budget Presentation

    Hazleton, PA
    Budget

    The City of Hazleton's 2026 Budget Proposal, presented November 13, 2025, recommends a real estate tax increase of 2.308 mils, representing a 25.3% increase, driven primarily by a projected $1,016,204 drop in total revenue and a 16.2% increase in healthcare costs exceeding $800,000. The revenue decline stems from a $300,000 reduction in PPT tax collections due to overpayment recovery, a $252,204 decrease in miscellaneous revenues including reduced GSC commission reimbursement, and an unresolved funding arrangement with the HCA following the end of their previous agreement in 2024. The proposed millage breakdown allocates 10.49 mils to the General Fund, 0.19 mils to the recreation fund, and 0.76 mils to the Debt Service Fund, with debt service remaining level despite the city's 2018 borrowing final payment of $102,000 occurring in 2026. Additional cost pressures include normal contractual pay increases and increased funding needs for legal and engineering support expenses.

    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.

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.
