The budget process<\/h3>\n

Step 1:<\/small> Preliminary Budget<\/h4>\n

Each January, the Mayor presents a preliminary budget\u2014an outline of his priorities and goals for the City. The Council then follows a process to ensure this budget meets the needs of our diverse neighborhoods.<\/p>\n

Step 2:<\/small> Council Analysis & Hearings<\/h4>\n

From March to April, the Council analyzes the Mayor’s preliminary budget and holds a series of public hearings to identify specific concerns through conversations with residents, advocates, and city agencies.<\/p>\n

Step 3:<\/small> Formal Response<\/h4>\n

Every year after holding a series of hearings to analyze the Mayor’s Preliminary Budget, the Council releases its response, as required by the New York City Charter. The Council’s Preliminary Budget Response provides an updated look at the City’s Finances and proposes how the Mayor’s Preliminary Budget should change for the Executive Budget. It is essentially the Council’s proposed budget for the city. It also includes a response to the Preliminary Mayor’s Management Report.

Step 4:<\/small> Executive Budget & Hearings<\/h4>\n

In April, the Mayor releases the Executive Budget, an updated proposed budget based on the Council\u2019s response. Again, the Council analyzes this budget and conducts a second round of targeted hearings, ensuring that the budget reflects the priorities of New Yorkers in all 51 Council Districts.
