Impact Statement
Purpose of Proposed Legislation and Background Information
The ordinance must be passed by Council to prepare the City for the new fiscal year on July 1, 2023. This item is included because ORS 221.770 requires the City to formally elect to accept state shared revenues.
Financial and Budgetary Impacts
The ordinance makes the City eligible for an estimated $24,322,559 in cigarette and liquor taxes in FY 2023-24.
Community Impacts and Community Involvement
The City’s annual includes multiple programmatic changes that will impact the community. These programmatic changes invest resources and reallocate internal resources into bureau programs as articulated in the Approved Budget. A three-member Community Budget Advisory Board was invited to sit in on budget discussions with the Mayor and Council as the budget was developed. There were six work sessions held to discuss the FY 2023-24 Budget process between March 7- 31, 2023. Council conducted three virtual listening sessions as well. Public comment has been solicited on the City Budget Office website, and in accordance with Oregon Local Budget Law, live public testimony was received on May 11th through a virtual community meeting and during the hearing held on May 17, 2023.
