The Scottsdale Budget Review Commission is a group of seven experienced professionals in financial, accounting, business, or government management fields. Serving as an advisory body to the City Council, the Commission reviews the proposed budget each fiscal year, providing valuable recommendations to ensure financial transparency and responsibility. With support from the City Treasurer’s Office, the Commission prioritizes reviewing the Operating Budget, Capital Budget, major revenue forecasts, taxes and fees, and budget governing policies before the tentative budget adoption.
