The City’s budget team have concluded a series of Budget Town Hall meetings last week where nearly 2,600 residents, elected officials and other key stakeholders from across Chicago’s neighborhoods participated by sharing their views about how the City should address the 2020 budget and its long term financial and economic issues. After hearing from residents from across Chicago, the City is releasing the results of this year’s Budget 2020 engagement process to provide all stakeholders insight into the feedback received, which will be considered in the development of the City’s 2020 budget. The budget survey and town hall results highlighted a strong interest in understanding or addressing the following:

• Property Taxes
• Pension Reform
• Settlements and Judgments
• Personnel Reductions
• Affordable Housing
• Various Other Spending Priorities

A summary of the survey results and budget town hall feedback is available on the Chicago Office of Budget and Management’s website at www.chicago.gov/2020budget. Mayor Lightfoot will deliver the 2020 budget address before City Council on Wednesday, October 23.  The City Council is expected to vote on the 2020 budget ordinances on November 26th.
