SUBJECT: Approval of the FY 2023-24 Budget for the City of Portland
With this memo, the City Budget Office conveys a package of information to aid the Council in considering changes to the Proposed Budget and moving to an Approved Budget for submittal to the Tax Supervising and Conservation Commission (TSCC). Attached to this memo are the following documents:
- Attachment A: A step-by-step description of the process for consideration of and deliberation on changes to the FY 2023-24 Proposed Budget at the May 17th Budget Committee meeting
- Attachment B: List of all adjustments to the FY 2023-24 Proposed Budget
- Attachment C: Summary of adjustments by fund and major object category
- Attachment D: Budget Notes as Proposed for the Approved
- Attachment E: Tax increment collections planned for the City’s Urban Renewal Districts.
The City Budget Office will present these adjustments and budget notes to be incorporated into the Approved Budget subject to the vote of the Budget Committee on Wednesday, May 17, 2023. Because of the short timeframe for voting on the Approved Budget, the City Budget Office would appreciate receiving any contemplated amendments by end of business day of May 15, 2023. This will allow staff to be adequately prepared for Council discussion and action. The Council will have the opportunity to make further amendments to the budget as part of the Adopted Budget process scheduled for first reading on June 14, 2023.

Impact Statement
Purpose of proposed legislation and background information
The report includes changes to the FY 2023-24 Proposed Budget which must be approved by the City of Portland Budget Committee.
Financial and budgetary impacts
The action of the Budget Committee (as requested in this report) reflects a reduction of $12.7 million from the FY 2023-24 Proposed Budget, as distributed on May 4, 2023- The total appropriation including fund transfers is now $7,141,696,153. The reason for this change in expense and resource is because of direction from OMF- Central Accounting to use a direct budget method instead of a fund transfer method. When there are fund transfers between bureaus, the expense and revenue publish in two bureaus. By removing the fund transfer the double-budgeting is negated, and the appropriation and expense only are reflected in one fund.
The Budget Committee may introduce amendments at the hearing on May 17, 2023. 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 13, 2023.
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. 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 7-30, 2023. Council conducted two virtual listening sessions in April as well. Public comment has been solicited on the City Budget Office website, and in accordance with Oregon Local Budget Law, live public testimony is scheduled to be received on May 11th through a virtual community meeting and during the hearing date for May 17, 2023. Council members receive weekly emails from the CBO compiling the written comments received by the public through the online portal.
The budget process continues with the final opportunity for Council to amend the budget and receive public testimony and input. At present, this is scheduled to occur on June 14, 2023.
