“What we are hoping is that we're going to have a real overview of the 733 programs that the city performs, what they cost, and then a sense of how much they actually meet our priorities as a city," Toledo Councilwoman Sandy Spang
The City of Toledo is spending money to save money. City council is changing the way they look at the budget hoping to save money in the end.
Councilperson Sandy Spang said, "We'll be able to look at the ones that are very effective, that are really essential to our community, and the ones where we may be able to make cuts."
Spang has been an advocate for a switch to priority-based budgeting. She says this process will make more transparent where and how the city spends the taxpayers' money.
"We will have information at our hands that we don't have right now. Council, because council has to approve the spending that comes before us, this is going to give us a great tool to be able to understand where we want to allocate dollars," she said.
And now the City has launched a Citizens Priorities Survey to further engage citizens in the priority based budgeting initiative.
As Allie Hausfeld with WTOL reports (City hopes get citizen input with new survey), on Tuesday, the mayor and city council released a new Citizen’s Priorities Survey, which gives residents the opportunity to rank the importance of different programs within the city.
“What we are hoping is that we're going to have a real overview of the 733 programs that the city performs, what they cost, and then a sense of how much they actually meet our priorities as a city," said Councilwoman Sandy Spang.
This survey is live online until June 5. City leaders say it’s imperative to get as much feedback as they can during this time.
Although changes aren't going to happen overnight to the city budget, Spang says hearing from the taxpayers is important for its success.
"Great cities set big goals, and in order for Toledo to set big goals and reach them, we're going to have to free resources towards those goals," Councilwoman Spang said. "I think this will be an opportunity for citizens to talk about what matters to them."
Spang says she hopes the city continues this survey in the years to come, and can evolve with the survey’s results.
