The city offers a range of services, including transportation, public safety, parks, public utilities, and community development. A key agreement in 1983 with Multnomah County outlined the specific services each government would handle. The city's funding comes from various sources like taxes, fees, and grants, with a significant portion allocated to public safety, transportation, and utilities. The General Fund, predominantly directed towards police, fire, and parks, plays a vital role in meeting various city needs. Property taxes form a substantial part of the city's budget. The budgeting process is comprehensive, involving bureau budget proposals and several steps before reaching final approval.
