The City of San Antonio wants residents’ input on how to spend its 2023-2024 fiscal year budget, which is expected to top $3.5 billion.
The city is hosting a series of nine town hall meetings in August where residents can offer feedback on the city’s spending priorities and ask questions about the budget process.
The city’s fiscal year begins Oct. 1 and ends Sept. 30, 2024.
City leaders have already discussed broad plans that include funding 100 more police officers in the coming fiscal year, and adding a pilot program to crack down on so-called “nuisance properties,” or residences that receive a high number of criminal and code compliance violations.
Earlier this year Deputy Chief Financial Officer Troy Elliott suggested the city may need to raise property tax revenue at a higher rate than previous years to cover those changes.
