This appeal is required in order to appeal at the state level later in the year if that is necessary. The deadline to appeal to the Metro Board of Equalization is June 17 at 4 pm. Property owners who feel that their assessment is incorrect can appeal here. The Property Assessment Appeals process is underway. Information on the whole budget process is available on the Metro Finance website and on the Metro YouTube channel. The council is on schedule to pass our substitute budget at our June 21 meeting. By charter the council must pass some version of a budget by June 30, or the mayor’s budget will stand as proposed. A Public Hearing on the budget is scheduled for June 7 at the beginning of the Metro Council meeting. Details of the CIB can be found on this web page. That happens later in the year through the Capital Spending Plan. Items must be included in the CIB to get funded, but this legislation does not actually allocate any money.

The Capital Improvements Budget, Bill BL2022-1268 is essentially a “wish list” of all the items that any department or council member has asked to be constructed in the next five years. This substitute process is currently under way based on our own department hearings and public input from Council’s public hearing. The Mayor’s proposed budget is traditionally substituted with a Council version developed by the Budget Chair in collaboration with the Budget and Finance Committee members.

The full operating budget can be reviewed here. The budget also includes funding to staff our Department of Transportation so the city can accelerate construction of infrastructure for all modes of transportation – improving traffic signalization for cars and buses, restoring bus service lost in the pandemic, improving bus stops, building more sidewalks and bikelanes, and ensuring all infrastructure is in good repair. This budget funds new positions in the Affordable Housing Division of the Planning Department as recommended by the Mayor’s Affordable Housing Task Force. The budget also includes cost of living increases to other Metro employees, which should help with recruitment of hard to fill positions. The proposed budget is $2.96 billion which includes a fully funded school budget that will give key school support staff long delayed raises to improve retention, and it provides $30 million for affordable housing and $50 for homelessness solutions.
