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

    Portland, ME
    Budget

    The City of Portland adopted a $7.1 billion budget for FY 2023-24, representing a 1% decrease from the previous year, with the expenditure-only portion increasing 2% to $4.2 billion due to growth in personnel services and capital projects, particularly in the Water and Sewer funds. The budget prioritizes public safety (45 new FTE including 43 police officers), charter implementation ($2.5 million), and economic recovery and livability ($59.1 million combined for trash removal, small business support, and homeless services). The city characterized FY 2023-24 as a "pinch year" for the General Fund, with expiration of one-time pandemic relief funds and American Rescue Plan dollars creating budgetary pressure, while utility rate increases are held to 4.9% for water/sewer and parking fees increase 20 cents.
