Participatory Budgeting Background
Participatory Budgeting (PB) is a democratic process in which community members recommend to the City Council how to spend part of a public budget.
In 2012, the Vallejo City Council established the first city-wide PB process in the United States, where residents directly engaged with their local government to develop and recommend projects as part of the annual budget. Over the past six cycles, the City of Vallejo has allocated over $9.3 million to fund a total of 56 projects, while engaging over 20,000 residents of Vallejo.
The goals of Participatory Budgeting are:
Improve our city
Engage our community
Transform our democracy
Open up government
What's going on with Cycle 7?
Voting took place from September 7 - October 7th. The results were announced on October 20th. Staff will now start working with implementing partners to execute the eight community projects that were selected.
