The Austin City Council is reviewing a proposed $6.3 billion budget for the upcoming fiscal year, addressing a projected $33 million deficit caused by lower-than-expected revenue.
The deficit results from decreased revenue streams, leading council members to consider financial strategies aimed at closing the budget gap. The proposed budget includes funding allocations for city services and infrastructure projects.
Council members have held public input sessions to gather feedback on the budget proposal as they work toward finalizing the plan before the new fiscal year begins.
The city government is exploring measures to increase revenue and reduce costs in an effort to balance fiscal responsibility with community needs.
