The City of Downey’s FY 19-20 General Fund Budget is structurally balanced and reflects the City’s commitment to providing resources towards improving the quality of life for residents, businesses and visitors in Downey. While the budget showcases the City’s strong record of prudent fiscal stewardship, and the ability to adapt to fiscal pressures and an uncertain outlook, expenditures are projected to outpace revenues. Knowing this, the City is proactively seeking ways to balance future budgets through new revenues, cost savings, and/ or new ways of service delivery, all while ensuring the City maintains the service levels patrons have come to expect.

Measure S, a 1/2 percent to the transactions and use tax, was approved by 63% of Downey voters in November 2016 and went into effect April 1, 2017.

In fall 2017, the City’s public financing authority approved the issuance of $50 million in lease revenue bonds, to be repaid over the course of 20 years with revenues derived from the approval of Measure S.
