Information
on Mayor's Budget Survey
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
by Jim McQuiston
August 8, 2004
The Mayor
asked Neighborhood Councils to conduct polls of stakeholders
to determine priorities for various services. In major classes
there are many subclasses, and all are open to rating.
Most people would want to know the relative costs of the services
listed. The following lists an amount for each service, as
gleaned roughly from the FY2004-2005 Budget Request. These
amounts were modified when the final budget was approved,
but they provide an indication of each service's relative
effect on the budget.
Next year's Budget may be different, based on estimated income,
and driven by service demands.
All figures are in millions of dollars per fiscal year (July
1-June 30):
