The Town of Oro Valley has released the Town Manager’s Recommended Budget for fiscal year 2022/23 in the amount of $159.2 million. The balanced recommended budget is $2.8 million, or 1.7% lower than the adopted FY 2021/22 budget that totaled $162 million. The General Fund budget totals $51.6 million, a 12% decrease from the FY 2021/22 budget of $58.9 million. Some overarching themes reflected in the budget include addressing notable cost increases in supplies, operations and maintenance across all departments, adding new employee positions to meet growing service demands, and implementing a robust capital investment strategy utilizing Parks and Recreation $25 million bond proceeds and other one-time revenues. The budget will now be subject to Council consideration, public hearings and final budget adoption on June 15.
