In addition to a majority of the City Council introducing a substitute revenue ordinance to fund the 2026 budget last week, a substitute to the annual management ordinance was also introduced that includes a provision that would give the council more data and resources to study their own budget proposals.

The substitute management ordinance (O2025-0021709), introduced by Ald. Andre Vasquez (40), would require the city budget office to furnish more detailed information when presenting the mayor’s annual budget recommendation and when providing the council with the mid-year budget report.
