ResourceX is leading an ELGL Cohort to support the creation and application of data
needed to communicate and make organizational decisions that impact every citizen’s welfare, and influence the resiliency of every organization.
The City of Riverside, CA started implementing Priority Based Budgeting (PBB) in July 2020. They intentionally designed their implementation to last approximately six months.
The City is strategically implementing PBB to address the following challenges:
Riverside is still working to institutionalize the use of PBB in their organization, and has made great strides with respect to how to use their insights to transform their financial position.
Where Riverside has truly excelled is with their executive sponsorship and leadership out of the city manager's office. They have a great, diverse project management team with representatives from all over their organization, who have been effective at communicating the why, where they are going, and their specific and strategic goals.
The following is from the city's priority based budgeting page of their municipal website:
"The scoring matrix ties into the city’s priority-based budgeting process, which aims to better identify the cost of city services, help link funding decisions to commission priorities, and help identify potential efficiencies."
The City of Flagstaff, AZ is now in their second year of Priority Based Budgeting (PBB). In the first year, Council and City leadership developed key community priorities and objectives. Additionally, the City developed their initial program level data platform (inventory, costing and scoring).
In 2020, we measured a single-year reallocation of resources from 2019, and we are moved to share the results of our analysis here.
