City budget priorities

Learn the six priority budget items we’ve been communicating about with legislators and budget leaders.

Cities ask the 2021 Legislature to support six city budget requests:

1. Maintain state revenue sharing with cities
2. Fully fund the Public Works Assistance Account (Public Works Trust Fund)
3. Provide funding for police reforms and mandated police training requirements
4. Ensure housing stability with rental and mortgage assistance programs
5. Support a statewide approach to correct both local and state fish-blocking culverts
6. Recognize new GMA planning requirements with adequate city funding

Watch and share these budget priorities along with your key local stories with legislators.
