Passing the Budget
In addition to its role as the New York City's legislative body, the Council works closely with the Mayor each year to develop and approve the city’s annual budget.  To ensure that the budget that is passed reflects New Yorkers’ needs and priorities, the Council conducts an in-depth review of all city agencies, their policies, their programs and their expenses.  The Council is working hard to ensure that the process is as transparent and accountable as possible.
