On Oct. 6, Vancouver's City Manager published a recommended City budget for 2023-24. This $1.7 billion budget includes programs and initiatives to address some of the top priorities identified by the community, including safety and climate change.

The draft budget will be reviewed by the City Council in a series of workshops and a public hearing, where community members are invited to provide comments on the budget before it’s finalized. https://bit.ly/3V1lIV0

Thank you to those who have provided comments and feedback on the City's 2023-24 Biennnium Budget. Policy priorities include:

  • Reduce Carbon Footprint
  • Grow Economic Opportunity
  • Improve Community Safety and Wellbeing
  • Build and Maintain Exceptional Public Spaces and Places
  • Improve Equity and Inclusion

The City of Vancouver conducted its biennial community survey between Aug. 3 and Aug. 9. We look forward to sharing results later in October. The survey will inform the City Manager’s Proposed Budget and provide residents with an opportunity to tell the City their opinions about livability, city services and community priorities.

The City contracted with DHM Research, a northwest-based research firm to help develop and conduct the survey. The survey was offered in English, Spanish, Russian, and Vietnamese to ensure individuals could take the survey in their preferred language.

The City conducts a community survey approximately every two years. Review the Frequently Asked Questions to learn more about how the survey was conducted, including data collection, methodology, and more.

The City of Vancouver budgets on a biennial basis, beginning on odd numbered years (i.e., 2023-2024).

The budget process assigns resources to the goals, objectives, and community priorities set by the City Council. New programs are added based on policy priorities.

According to the City Charter, the City Manager prepares and submits a biennial operating budget and capital improvement program budget for consideration and adoption by the City Council.
