The Budget and Research Department directs the preparation and administration of the annual operating budget and capital improvement program. Responsibilities include revenue estimating and forecasting, long range fiscal planning, and conducting organization and management studies.
Seventeen community budget hearings were held in April 2012 to discuss the 2012-13 proposed budget. This public discussion is among reasons the city's budget so closely matches the community's highest priorities each fiscal year.
The City Manager will present the proposed budget to the Phoenix City Council at its May 1 Policy Session, and it will be voted on at the May 15 Policy Session. The approved budget will then go into effect July 1, 2012.
