1. Why have you added this new budget tool?

The Worthington City Council has prioritized finding new and innovative ways to include more people in the budgeting process, especially those who are not able to attend the city’s budget hearings.  This tool allows people to participate at their own pace, on their own schedule, in conjunction with the city’s traditional budget process.

2. I’ve submitted recommendations through the tool, what happens next?

Submissions into Balancing Act are compiled by the Finance Department and will be shared with the City Council, and department and city management, to help guide the budgeting process.

3. I’d like to learn more about the city’s finances and budget process, where can I find more information?

You can view videos, documents and other resources that explain the budget and process here on the Budget page of the City’s website.

4. I don’t want to use the tool, how can I still provide feedback?

The City will be holding public workshops on the 2021 proposed budget at each City Council meeting throughout the month of November, with adoption of the proposed 2021 budget scheduled for December 7^th.  You may submit any feedback via email to council@worthington.org or by calling 567-249-0063 with conference ID 94300036# to participate in the City Council meeting. Council meetings are live streamed on our website.
