The Budget Committee consists of the seven City Council members and seven citizens of
Phoenix. The Committee meets as necessary during the year and at a minimum must meet
each spring to review the budget proposed by the City Manager. The meetings are open to
the public and input from the public is received at the meetings. At a typical spring-time
meeting, city staff presents financial overviews, highlights changes in programs and costs,
and provides information on the City's long-term fiscal outlook.
Budget Committee members can question city staff on financial, programs, and operational
matters. The members can suggest and vote on amendments to the proposed budget. The
proposed budget as amended by the committee changes is known as the Approved Budget.
The approved budget is referred to the City Council for adoption. A public hearing is held
before the City Council. Council can adopt the budget as approved or vote on changes prior
to adoption.
