Program Budget

A program budget focuses on the services and activities provided by the city and allocates money based on specific functions such as public safety, general government, public works, recreation, etc. It shows the purposes for which money will be spent and the importance the city places on these services. A program budget generally does not provide detailed information about the level or quality of services provided. As a result, its usefulness as a tool for measuring and managing the quantity and quality of public services may be limited.
