    An amended version of a measure to improve the city’s budget process through the institution of mid-year reports, regular updates and data access was approved as part of the wider city budget last month. But several good government groups called it a watered-down version of what it could have been.

    The responsible budgeting ordinance, passed as part of the city’s annual Management Ordinance (SO2024-0013673), institutes a number of changes aimed at improving budget process transparency and efficiency for members of the City Council. Changes include setting an earlier deadline for when budget recommendations must be presented to the council; giving more power to the Council Office of Financial Analysis (COFA); and making budget information more easily available to the public and alderpeople alike.
