Mayor Brodeur Releases Budget Proposal for Fiscal Year 2023

Mayor Brodeur has released the details of the City's operating budget for fiscal year 2023 (FY23). The $95,256,080 budget has been made available for viewing at www.cityofmelrose.org/mayor/pages/city-budget-fiscal-year-2023.

“The budget that we’ve presented to the City Council reflects an investment in the Melrose community and the vitally important services we provide,” said Mayor Paul Brodeur. “It delivers on a commitment to our residents to provide first-rate education by investing in our schools, to enhance quality of life by supporting our elders, addressing infrastructure needs, continuing sustainability efforts, and increasing resources and programs to support the health and wellness needs of our residents – particularly our young people - that have grown as a result of the pandemic.”

Mayor Brodeur’s office has also collaborated with the Auditor's office and City departments to provide community members and elected officials with the tools needed to engage with and understand the FY23 budget – an Interactive Digital Budget Presentation that moves key data from the City’s budget document into an easy-to-understand digital format; and a Supplemental Budget Document, which highlights each City Department’s mission, goals for FY23, and all key changes to their budgets from FY22 to FY23.

“I am particularly proud of my administration’s efforts to increase accessibility and transparency around our budget processes through these tools,” added Mayor Brodeur. “I’m thankful to our entire finance office for assisting me in my mission to provide residents with access to the City’s budget information. I’m especially grateful to CFO Patrick Dello Russo and Assistant Auditor, Kerri Golden, for their invaluable guidance year after year.”
