Cincinnati Council is moving ahead with a plan to introduce priority-based budgeting in the city.

City administrators will use the information from community forums and focus groups when drafting the budget for Council to consider in December.

Vice Mayor Roxanne Qualls asked the following question to Eriksen.

“Is it your professional opinion that this process will actually help you as the budget director, who ultimately is responsible for putting together the budget, actually put together a better budget for the city of Cincinnati that you can recommend to the Council” Qualls asked.

“Yes I do,” Eriksen said. “And I’m kind of excited about it.”
