The report includes changes to the FY 2025-26 Proposed Budget which must be approved by the City of Portland Budget Committee.
This report does not carry any direct economic or real estate development impact because the document in itself does not authorize any final expenditures. The Approved Budget functions as a technical budget development step as Council works toward a final Adopted Budget.
The Approved Budget as filed includes programmatic changes that will impact the community. These programmatic changes invest resources and reallocate internal resources into bureau programs as articulated in the Mayor’s Proposed Budget document. A three-member Community Budget Advisory Board was invited to sit in on budget discussions with the Mayor and Council as the budget was developed. There were Council work sessions held to discuss the FY 2025-26 Budget process in April and May of 2025. Council conducted four listening sessions in March and April of 2025 as well. Public comment has been solicited on the City Budget Office website, and in accordance with Oregon Local Budget Law, live public testimony was received on May 7th, 2025 during the Mayor's Proposed Budget Hearing and will be heard again on May 21st, 2025. Council members receive weekly emails from the CBO compiling the written comments received by the public through the online portal. The budget process continues with the final opportunity for Council to amend the budget and receive public testimony and input. At present, this is scheduled to occur on June 11, 2025.
The action of the Budget Committee (as requested in this report) reflects a change of $100,650,000 million from the FY 2025-26 Proposed Budget, as distributed on May 5, 2025. The total appropriation including fund transfers is now $8,641,680,199. The reason for this change in expense and resource is because of an interfund loan of $50,000,000 for the Fire Police Disability & Retirement Fund, which receives its levy funding in November of each year, and needs to pay out benefits beginning in July of each fiscal year. The Budget Committee may introduce amendments at the hearing on May 21, 2025. After the Budget Committee votes to approve the budget, the financial information is sent to the Tax Supervising Conversation Commission for their review and subsequent hearing currently scheduled on June 11, 2025.
This action does not directly impact the 100% renewable goal.
