MAYOR
LANDRIEU, CITY COUNCIL TO HOLD SERIES OF COMMUNITY MEETINGS ACROSS CITY
City
Officials Ask for Public's Input Ahead of 2017 Budgeting for Outcomes Process
NEW ORLEANS – Beginning Wednesday, July 7, 2016, Mayor
Mitch Landrieu and the New Orleans City Council will host a series of community
meetings to discuss budget priorities as the City begins its 2017 budgeting for
outcomes process. Other City officials attending will include deputy
mayors, New Orleans Police Department (NOPD) Superintendent Michael Harrison,
New Orleans Fire Department (NOFD) Superintendent Tim McConnell and other
department and agency leaders.
The goal of the budgeting for outcomes
process is to produce a more resident-driven budget and ensure process
improvement and accountability of our government performance. This national
best practice is designed to enhance services and get a better return on
investment of public dollars by encouraging City agencies to invest public
resources based on the results residents and City leaders want to achieve.
While traditional budgeting systems are hinged on incremental changes to the
previous year’s level of effort, budgeting for outcomes ensures that all City
budgets are funded based on how well they achieve residents’ priorities.
Before each district meeting, City
officials will also host a resource center from 5:30 – 6:00 p.m. where
residents may visit one-on-one with representatives from several City
departments and agencies to address specific complaints and concerns. All
community meetings will begin promptly at 6:00 p.m. Spanish will be available at all meeting locations. Vietnamese translation will be available at the
District E meeting. Residents
who cannot attend community meetings are invited to share their comments and
input by sending e-mail to mayor@nola.gov.
