You can use our new budget simulation tool, Balancing Act, to share your opinion on what City services are most important and at what level the services should be provided. Do you think parks should be the City's top priority? How about emergency response? Business? Library?

Balancing Act starts with the Proposed FY 2024-25 General Fund budget and lets you adjust the simulated City budget to increase or decrease programs and services. The simulation begins in a deficit, so you can consider reductions to existing City programs and services or the addition of revenue to balance the budget. The tool provides more context about each decision and guides you through the process. Each community member entry is like a response to a survey.

Your feedback can strengthen public involvement and improve the budget process.
