An early draft of next year’s city budget shows Scottsdale officials are confident that the city’s economy will continue to rebound from the pandemic.
Unlike the current budget – which went through tens of millions of dollars in last-minute cuts in the early months of the pandemic – the new proposal projects city revenues and spending returning to pre-COVID-19 levels.
The $1.7-billion proposed budget, presented to City Council on April 20, is significantly larger than $1.5-billion 2020-21 budget that runs through June 30.
