Mayor Mike Johnston has responded to the big changes City Council members want him to make to his proposed 2025 budget by offering up $7.3 million in reshuffled spending, including a boost to the city’s rent assistance program. That’s roughly 25% of the value of budget changes council members asked for. In a letter sent to council members Friday, the mayor outlined areas where he was willing to compromise with them after council members requested $29.1 million in changes earlier this month. The mayor proposed $1.76 billion in general fund spending next year, just a 0.6% increase over the city’s 2024 spending in the wake of slowing sales tax growth. Johnston has earmarked an additional $3 million for the city’s Temporary Rent and Utility Assistance program, or TRUA.
