Our primary function is coordinating the development of the City's annual and supplemental budgets, complemented by citywide performance management and oversight of the Portland Utility Board. Our core responsibilities include:

  • Leading the citywide budget development process each fiscal year

Analysts also respond to inquiries from elected officials, City leadership, the media, and the public. CBO's overarching goal is to help the Mayor, City Administrator, and City Council make decisions that preserve the City's long-term fiscal health, while helping bureaus advance Council priorities by using City resources efficiently, effectively, and equitably.
