Here is the proposed 2025 budget
Here is a Powerpoint Presentation highlighting what is in the 2025 budget and how we are funding it.
The 2025 general fund budget is pretty bare-bones except for cost increases (salary, health insurance, contract escalations, & fully funding the nine police positions we added in 24). Many of the additional police personnel expenses in 2025 are being paid with ARPA (Federal) Funds that will not be available in the future and with city expenses escalating faster than revenue, I understand that the city is facing an issue in the coming years in order to maintain the same level of service; especially as all city service contracts will be renegotiated with expected large increases. This is an issue that I am guessing will be discussed in detail on Monday morning.
Capital funds are special revenue streams that typically can not be used for General Fund (operating) expenses like salaries, so these funds can not be used for those expenses but instead can be used for things and construction. On the 2025 Capital funds front, we estimate $20 Million will be spent, with street paving & intersection improvements being a big chunk of those funds. Besides streets, there is $3 Million for path construction, $1.8 Million for a new bridge over 285 at Chamblee Dunwoody, $1.7 Million for new Police Vehicles / Equipment, $1.3 Million for a new Brook Run Maintenance Building, $1 Million for the Dunwoody Nature Center Expansion, $1 Million for the new turf at Peachtree Middle School where the city already has a long term lease, $700K for a new SWAT Storage Building as well as another $1.7 Million for contingency and/or possible other additions like Sand Volleyball courts that were programed for the back of Brook Run near Tree Top Quest.
