  • Budget Highlights City Overview

    Tucson, AZ
    Budget

    For Fiscal Year 2025, the Tucson City Manager submitted the recommended budget on April 9, 2024, and the Mayor and Council adopted a balanced budget on June 4, 2024. The city's largest revenue sources are Business Privilege tax (19.6% of total revenues) and Public Utility tax (17.4%), with Business Privilege tax recently increased from 2% to 2.6% following voter-approved propositions, and a multi-year rate plan for Public Utility tax approved in January 2023 providing annual 5.5% increases through Fiscal Year 2027. Arizona's 2022 implementation of a flat income tax rate has significantly reduced state-shared revenues to Tucson, creating budgetary pressure on the General Fund and prompting the city to propose fee adjustments for Parks and Recreation, Reid Park Zoo, Tucson City Golf, and other services beginning in Fiscal Year 2025.

  • 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.

  • 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.
