A summary of the core concepts of Boulder's Priority-based Budgeting plan include:
• To establish the core goals results and/or objectives (the “results”) of the City of Boulder and its citizens and also to articulate them to external as well as internal stakeholders, thus providing a “roadmap” to determine that decisions made are leading the City in the direction of Prioritization;
• To implement a holistic process that will align strategic planning with resource allocation decisions (i.e., the budget process) as well as performance measurement and management;
• To provide a process by which programs and services offered by the City can be evaluated in order to identify those areas that are of the highest priority in terms of accomplishing the City’s overall results;
• To provide a process by which significant capital and other one-time expenditures for the foreseeable future can be evaluated in order to identify those projects and initiatives that are of the highest priority in terms of accomplishing the City’s overall results; and
• To undertake a strategic process that will achieve the identified results
