| City of Phoenix Vaccine Mandate Paused | https://www.phoenix.gov/newsroom/city-manager/2162 | City Manager | | 12/7/2021 10:00:00 PM | https://www.phoenix.gov/newssite/Lists/NewsArticle/Attachments/2162/Newsroom_Vaccine_Bottles.jpg | | City of Phoenix Vaccine Mandate Paused | <div class="ExternalClass80C6373E36D04EF2BDC3A9E18EA4C696"><p> The city of Phoenix Tuesday announced it has paused plans to implement a federal mandate requiring all city employees be vaccinated against COVID-19. This decision comes after a series of legal challenges and a ruling Tuesday from a federal judge in Georgia which temporarily halts the COVID-19 vaccine mandate for federal contractors nationwide.<br></p><p>“As we've faced the COVID-19 pandemic, employee safety and maintaining essential city services have been our priority. In meeting those demands, the one constant has been our ability to be flexible. Today's decision further reflects that flexibility," said City Manager Jeff Barton. “Since we first were alerted that city employees would be subject to the
<a target="_blank" href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/presidential-actions/2021/09/09/executive-order-on-ensuring-adequate-covid-safety-protocols-for-federal-contractors/">Presidential Executive Order</a> mandating the vaccine for federal contractors, we have promised to monitor legal challenges and adjust accordingly. While I continue believe the vaccination is the best defense against COVID-19, we owe it to our employees to allow the legal process to play out."<br></p><p>Last month it was announced that because the city of Phoenix is a Federal contractor, the COVID-19 vaccine would be required for all employees by January 18, 2022 as outlined in Presidential Executive Order 14042. While there has not been a final legal decision, any implementation within the city is on hold pending the outcome of the court cases.<br></p><p>Although the implementation of the vaccine requirement is on hold, employee safety remains a top priority. The city offers free COVID vaccines, booster shots, and testing options to employees and their families.<br></p>

<div>An essential part of planning for the city of Phoenix is the development of its annual budget every year. The more than $1.6 billion General Fund operating budget includes everything from police and fire services, to parks, libraries, and senior services. This current budget also reflects programs and services prioritized by Phoenix City Council and residents, in areas such as affordable housing, expansion of civilian response to mental health calls for service, police reform, strategies to address homelessness, and heat mitigation and climate initiatives.<br></div>
<div>
<br>
</div>
<div>With a budget that size, supporting the fifth largest city in the country and 1.7 million residents, it can be a challenge to understand everything that goes into the services you receive. To help residents better understand how our budget is created, the Budget & Research Department invites everyone to provide feedback.</div>
<div>
<br>
</div>
<div>FundPHX is a budget tool that lets you see for yourself what each service costs, and how much it would cost (or save) when you change service levels. Explore the tool right now on <a target="_blank" href="http://Phoenix.gov/FundPHX">Phoenix.gov/FundPHX</a>.</div>
<div>
<br>
</div>
<div>The city of Phoenix is known for one of the most transparent and participatory budgeting processes in the country. Over the years, staff has looked for ways to include more people in the budgeting process, especially those who are not able to attend the city's budget hearings. This tool allows people to participate at their own pace, on their own schedule, in conjunction with the city's traditional budget process.</div>
<div>
<br>
</div>
<div>Submissions into the tool are compiled regularly and shared with the City Council and city management, to help guide the budgeting process. </div>
