New Podcast Episode: How Does the City Decide What to Fund

Our latest episode of Your City, Answered takes a closer look at a key question in local government: how does the City decide what to fund? Host Ran Northam talks with Budget and Management Services Director Sadia Sattar about how the annual budget is shaped by community priorities and the City's core values. Sattar explains how resident input guides the process from start to finish, and how the City balances its budget using revenues that come primarily from taxes and service fees.

The timing couldn't be better-City Council adopted the FY27 Budget this week. Listen now, and explore all past episodes on our website.
