FY 2020-21 Proposed Budget– User’s guide A-7 A-8 FY 2020-21 Proposed Budget– User’s guide April 2020 Chief To the Metro Council, residents, valued employees and community and Operating regional partners: Officer’s This proposed FY 2020-21 budget for Metro Council consideration is presented at a time of unprecedented uncertainty because of the rapid spread of the COVID-19 Budget virus. As of this writing, the Oregon Convention Center is operating as a shelter for people experiencing homelessness and the Portland Expo Center is operating as a Message drive-thru testing center in partnership with OHSU. Metro staff is working tirelessly to understand what Metro’s financial future might hold and leadership is making difficult decisions to meet this new reality. The budget presented below predates the pandemic and reflects a financial health that was the product of a vibrant regional economy, strong fiscal practices, a clear policy agenda developed by the Metro Council, and a collaborative relationship with Metro’s labor unions. As laid out in state statute, we will work together to modify this budget before Council’s adoption at the end of June 2020. We will almost certainly need to make additional adjustments through budget amendments to balance to our new fiscal reality. That being said, what follows remains an important and useful document. It represents Metro’s financial plan for accomplishing greater Portland’s goals and provides an annual opportunity for the public, the Metro Council and Metro’s staff to evaluate how we’re faring as a region, assess our progress towards the six desired regional outcomes, and ensure our programs and activities are effective and efficient in providing excellent public services to the people of greater Portland. The budget that was prepared before the pandemic highlights four major issues. This proposed budget funds the Metro Council’s priorities Metro Council President Lynn Peterson and the Metro Council have designated a series of strategic priorities to position Metro to continue to inspire, teach, engage and invite people to enhance the quality of life and environment for the region’s current and future generations.
