The People's Budget

Type of funding: Programs and services (non-capital)

Rough cost estimate: Over $7.2 million

Evaluation notes:

❌ This idea could not be implemented without changing current policy or law.

❌ This City doesn't have jurisdiction to do this idea. 

✅ This idea doesn't name a specific vendor. 

❌ This idea would incur costs indefinitely. 

Justification: The City may not have jurisdiction to implement the proposal. In addition, the cost of the pilot would exceed budget, unless a targeted number is identified of individuals/communities to serve. If a pilot is implemented, it would inform future planning for revenue structure and budget appropriations.

Other notes: OED doesn't offer programs or grants for this type of proposal.

Thank you for sharing your idea. This idea and its evaluation have been forwarded to the budget delegates. They will use this information to group together similar ideas, narrow down options based on community needs, and develop fully detailed proposals for you and your community to vote on in October 2023.
