FY2025 Budget Process

On April 17, 2024, the FY2025 proposed budget was presented to the Board of Estimate and Apportionment (E&A) made up of the Mayor, the Comptroller, and the President of the Board of Aldermen (BOA). The Board of E&A reviews the proposed budget, holds hearings with departments and conducts a public hearing. Following these hearings, the Board of E&A may recommend changes to the proposed budget. The Board of E&A must submit its proposed budget to the Board of Aldermen by May 1, 2024.

During May and June, the Budget and Public Employees Committee (formerly known as the Ways and Means Committee) of the BOA will hold public hearings on the various segments of the budget. Budget and Public Employees will consider a number of amendments to the budget, with any requested additions requiring approval from the Board of E&A. The Board of E&A will consider these amendments at its meeting in June and then sent the budget as amended back to the full BOA for final adoption. If the BOA does not approve a budget by the beginning of the fiscal year on July 1, 2024, the proposed budget by the Board of E&A shall be deemed to have been approved. The FY2025 budget will go into effect July 1, 2024.
