Strategic Local Government Budgeting: How to Determine Which Method is Best for Your Community

Traditionally, local government budgeting has not been directly tied to outcomes in the community. Instead, incremental amounts were shifted based on previous use and separated by department. Although intentions were good with this method, it generally meant the budget was disconnected from actual impact on the community it served. Today, combine the desire to budget more strategically with requirements from federal funds, such as the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) and the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), and local government budgeting is experiencing a huge transformation. In fact, the Rethinking the Budget initiative from GFOA and ICMA encourages local governments to, “Move away from ‘incremental, line item budgeting’ by taking advantage of new ways of thinking, new technologies, and to better meet the changing needs of communities with a limited budget.” But, with all the strategies out there, how do you know which one to choose? Read on for more information about the types of strategic budgeting and tips on deciding which one is best for your community.
