NOTE: This assignment is for the morning session of day 1 of General Fund Budget hearings**. This assignment is scheduled from 9am until Council takes a lunch break. Lunch break is expected at noon, but it may come earlier or later.
When lunch break begins, please contact the Cleveland Documenters team to let us know at (216) 202- 4383. That way we can give a heads up to Documenters covering the afternoon session.
It is budget season in Cleveland! We’re going to document it!
We do not expect you to be a budget expert. Honestly, we don’t know many people who are. We want you to lead with your curiosity. Document the process as you see it. Ask questions about what you don’t understand. And of course, follow the money.
To help you do that, we’ve written a Guide to Cleveland’s budget process . In it you’ll find basics on the budget process, a glossary of budget terms, which include cards you can use in your notes/tweets, city council’s role, and more.
Other 2023 budget resources:
- The 2023 Mayor’s Estimate. Council members will refer to this document in the meeting.
- Review earlier Documenters’ budget hearing coverage. *Catch up on all the 2023 budget coverage at Signal Cleveland.
On the agenda for this meeting:
- Mayor’s Letter of Transmittal (p. 2-3)
- Finance Director’s Statement
- City Council and Clerk of Council (p. 50-54)
- Office of the Mayor (p. 55-57)
- City Planning Commission (p.88-92)
- Boards and Commissions
- Boxing and Wrestling Commission (p. 93-94)
- Landmarks Commission (p. 67-70)
- Board of Building Standards and Appeals (p. 71-73)
- Board of Zoning Appeals (p. 74-76)
NOTE: The attached page numbers are the numbers in Mayor’s Estimate booklet, not the pdf numbers.
Documenters covering this should be prepared for the session to last up to four hours. If the session lasts longer than four hours and you cannot continue let the Documenters team know, and note that you cannot continue in your meetings notes or live tweet thread.
Live tweeters: Because we are trying to make information from these budget hearings available for residents as quickly as possible, please only accept this assignment if you can live tweet this meeting WHILE the meeting is ongoing.
