Problem
The proposed 2023-24 General Budget Fund Surplus is $133.5m. Where should the money be spent between Employee Compensation, Continuity of Services for Vulnerable Populations, Enhanced Public Safety Responsiveness and Criminal Justice Support, Healthy Neighborhoods and Community Enrichment, Community Input, Contingency Fund, or share your own budget priorities? You must make three significant changes to the spending in the budget. A significant change is a decrease or increase in spending of at least 5% of the total spending. All your changes must result in a balanced budget as required by law. Therefore, any increases in spending must be balanced by either cutting spending in other areas or increasing revenues by raising taxes, fees, charges, etc.
