  • City of Mobile, AL Annual Budget Year Fiscal Fiscal
    City of Mobile, AL Annual Budget Year Fiscal Fiscal William S. Stimpson Mayor BUDGET MESSAGE FISCAL YEAR 2021‐22 August 20, 2021 To the City Council Mobile, Alabama Dear City Council Members, One year ago as I wrote this letter to the City Council, Mobile and all of the United States were still in early stages of the COVID‐19 Pandemic. Our budget was just being submitted and we were uncertain how the City would be affected by the disease over the next fiscal year. The City had mobilized itself to support critical services and had taken steps to minimize the risk of infection of its employees. At the same time, we were making every effort to continue to support our citizens with critical services to keep Mobile running with minimal disruption. I believe we accomplished this, but it would not have been possible without the dedication and sacrifice of all our employees. During this time, the economy was at best uncertain. Traveling by air was curtailed significantly to a point where all the major airlines were losing money. Cruise ships, such as Carnival, stopped all operations. Restaurants and stores had closed or had restricted operations and museums, civic centers and theaters were closed. We were also living with limitations on daily life and isolated from family and friends. In late 2020, certain key elements of the economy began to recover which continued into 2021. With the assistance of federal stimulus packages, money continued to flow to the consumer. In the absence of travel opportunities, more and more people began to focus on their homes and families and less on entertainment.
