The City’s budget presentation and hearing format follow the “Budgeting for Outcomes” model this year, which is organized by “result area” rather than department. The Council’s budget hearings are organized thematically around these result areas: Children and Families, Economic Development, Innovation, Sustainable Communities, Open and Effective Government, and Public Safety.
During last week’s budget hearings, the Council addressed budget items related to the Budget Overview, Tax Levy and Revenue Budget, as well as the Children and Families, Economic Development and Sustainable Communities result areas.
This week’s hearing schedule is below. The hearing schedule is subject to change. Please visit the Council’s website for the most up to date information, as well as the full budget hearing schedule.
