Budgeting is a topic that can make one’s eyes roll. And when a city budget is in question, forget it. Lights out. Topeka is trying to change that perception by adopting an outcome- based budget for FY23. Following in the footsteps of Redmond, Wash., and Baltimore, Md., outcome- based budgeting can open a direct line of dialogue between the city and those who live in it. To date, Topeka has held four virtual workshops that have focused on neighborhoods, quality of life, infrastructure and public safety.
