25-1512 : Halton-Pope, Nowakowski: Resolution Requesting Mid-Term Budget Hearings to Review City Appropriations and Revenue

This resolution, sponsored by Finance Committee Member Halton-Pope and Chair Nowakowski, formally requests the Administration to schedule and conduct mid-term budget hearings. These hearings, to be held during the first week of January, will focus on reviewing the City of Buffalo's appropriations and revenue performance for the period of July 1 through January 1. All City departments will be required to submit detailed reports on their revenues and expenditures, including explanations for any significant variances from the adopted budget. The information gathered will be used by the Common Council to assess the city's current financial standing, evaluate spending and revenue performance against the adopted budget, and ensure fiscal stability and transparency for residents.
