Official record (Efiles)
Impact Statement
Purpose of proposed legislation and background information
The report includes changes to the FY 2026-27 Proposed Budget through amendments that are passed by the City of Portland Budget Committee.
Financial and budgetary impacts
The Approved budget as filed does not include any changes from the FY 2026-27 Proposed Budget, as distributed on April 20, 2026. The Budget Committee may introduce amendments at the hearing beginning on May 18, 2026. After the Budget Committee votes to approve the budget, the financial information is sent to the Tax Supervising Conversation Commission for their review and subsequent hearing currently scheduled on June 9, 2026.
Economic and real estate development impacts
This report does not carry any direct economic or real estate development impact because the document in itself does not authorize any final expenditures. The Approved Budget functions as a technical budget development step as Council works toward a final Adopted Budget.
Community impacts and community involvement
The Approved Budget as filed includes programmatic changes that will impact the community. These programmatic changes invest resources and reallocate internal resources into bureau programs as articulated in the Mayor's Proposed Budget document. There were Council work sessions held to discuss the FY 2026-27 Budget process in April and May of 2026. Council conducted listening sessions in each district throughout 2026 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 April 21, 2026 during the Mayor's Proposed Budget Hearing and will be heard again on May 18, 2026.
The budget process continues with the final opportunity for Council to amend the budget and receive public testimony and input. This is scheduled to occur on June 10, 2026.
100% renewable goal
This action does not directly impact the 100% renewable goal.
