Community Impacts and Community Involvement
The City’s annual budget 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 Adopted 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 Council work sessions held to discuss the FY 2025-26 Budget process in April and May of 2025. Council conducted four listening sessions in March and April of 2025 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 7th, 2025 during the Mayor's Proposed Budget Hearing and will be heard again on May 21st, 2025. Council members receive weekly emails from the CBO compiling the written comments received by the public through the online portal.
