Baby boomers appreciate the city’s compact and walkable downtown. Young creatives are drawn by energy and ideas. Immigrant families seek opportunity and community. Your Regional Arts and Culture Council recognizes and celebrates the changing face of Portland. We believe art is the creative catalyst for Portland’s successful transformation from the big, little city of the past to the global, multicultural city of tomorrow. During the fiscal year ending June 30, 2018, RACC awarded more than $4.9 million in grants, which included $4.2 million to 315 Portland-based artists and non-profit organizations. RACC also invested $1.2 million in arts education services that benefit Portland students and $1.4 million to create and maintain public artworks throughout the city of Portland. These are investments in our collective future and in the city that we all want to live in.

  • 2021 Bureau Requested Budget
    City of Portland, Oregon Office of Management & Finance FY 2020-21 Requested Budget Mayor Ted Wheeler Commissioner in Charge Tom Rinehart Chief Administrative Officer January 2020 OMF Budget Advisory Committee Report FY 2020-21 Budget Process About the OMF Budget Advisory Committee The Office of Management & Finance (OMF) implemented an Advisory Committee in 2006 comprised of customers and stakeholders. The committee includes two community members, six non-OMF bureau directors, two Mayor/Commissioner staff members, and one labor representatives (membership list follows). Chaired by OMF’s Chief Administrative Officer, the committee advises OMF on projects and programs, customer service issues, and budget decisions. The Advisory Committee convenes as OMF’s Budget Advisory Committee (BAC) during the budget process. Committee Process The OMF Advisory Committee began its FY 2019-20 campaign in September 2019. The committee serves as an enterprise advising body to OMF and convenes as OMF’s BAC during the budget development process. Mayor Wheeler released FY 2020-21 budget guidance in October 2019, directing bureaus to work collaboratively to identify long-term multi-bureau programmatic and operational efficiencies. Additionally, Mayor Wheeler asked bureaus to incorporate Climate Policy Commitments throughout base budgets and to reduce carbon emissions to prepare for the impacts of climate change in FY 2020-21 budget proposals. OMF shared initial budgetary challenges with OMF’s BAC during the November 2019 meeting. In January 2019, the OMF BAC was presented with summaries and costs for five decision packages that OMF will submit as part of its FY 2020-21 Requested Budget. As the City’s ongoing funds are severely constrained, OMF’s FY 2020-21 requests address the City’s ability to continue current levels of revenue collections, ensure the prudent operations and management of City facilities, and mitigate climate change impacts.
