Great Update on the City of Sacramento's Work in Priority Based Budgeting

http://sacramento.granicus.com/MetaViewer.php?view_id=22&event_id=1953&meta_id=384908


After five consecutive years of reductions, the City continues efforts to
achieve budget stability and sustainability. It is clear that we can no longer continue to use short-term solutions for what is clearly a long-term problem. As such the development of the budget will continue
to necessitate difficult decisions. Completion of the PBB process will provide a tool for Council to consider allocation of dollars based on expected results/outcomes.

Consistent with the City Manager’s Performance Goals, Strategies
and Metrics as presented on January 10, 2012 the PBB effort has involved employees and the
community through outreach meetings as well as an on-line survey. The information received through
this process and from Council will assist in identifying opportunities for closing future year budget
gaps.
