LIGHTFOOT 2020 BUDGET OVERVIEW LETTER FROM THE MAYOR My Fellow Chicagoans, It is an honor to share with you the City of Chicago budget for fiscal year 2020. This $11.65 billion budget is more than just an investment in our city’s future, it is a values statement on who we are and the kind of city we want to be. When I came into office, Chicago was facing a budget deficit of nearly $1 billion, and included the largest one- year increase to the City-required pension contribution in recent history. Despite these challenges, my team and I were determined to create a budget that looked beyond one-time fixes and provides long-term structural solutions. This budget also reflects our commitment to growing our investments in key areas, including violence prevention, neighborhood development, affordable housing, homelessness, and mental health. We developed this budget line-by-line, identifying millions of dollars in departmental savings and efficiencies to ensure we are making the best use of taxpayer’s dollars. This budget was also created with an unprecedented level of community engagement, which included an online budget survey and five neighborhood town halls to help identify impactful solutions and lasting reforms. Among its many measures, this budget improves the City’s revenue collection procedures, creates savings through debt refunding, and terminates costly unused lines of credit to avoid paying expensive bank fees. And we called on our department leaders to tighten their belts without significantly impacting services. To restore equity to the budget, we crafted a responsible spending plan that responds to the needs of our most vulnerable communities, reflecting our belief that everyone deserves a place to call their own and a fair chance to pursue their dreams. Every aspect of this budget—from reforms and investments to revenues and expenditures—seeks to ensure Chicago continues to deliver the services its residents depend on, while also expanding economic vitality, and strengthening our communities so families can grow. With our shared values of transparency, accountability, equity, and inclusion, our 2020 budget puts Chicago on a sustainable path towards a stable financial future, and provides investments that are vitally needed for our neighborhoods to thrive for generations to come. Sincerely, Mayor Lori E.
