2010 Birmingham budget
The 2009-2010 Birmingham budget includes the operating budget for the City of Birmingham for the fiscal year July 1, 2009 - June 30, 2010 as well as a capital projects budget for the five years from 2008 to 2013. The operating budget was submitted by the Mayor's office on May 19, 2009.
The 2010 budget as proposed projects $415,800,000.00 in revenues and expenditures over the course of the year. That figure represents a decrease of 3.05% over the 2008 Birmingham budget submitted the previous May.
At his presentation to the council, Langford acknowledged the "recent softness of the international economy" in explaining the overall reduction. He proposed to keep most departments funded at 2008 levels and to cut funding to some agencies, such as Operation New Birmingham and agencies receiving funding for assistance to citizens with HIV/AIDS. In those cases the mayor suggested that the agencies merge with others pursuing similar missions in order to increase overall efficiency.
