Purpose and priorities
The draft budget, which is drawn up by the college of aldermen, is guided by a policy of sustainable development, and is a key step in the implementation of the 2017–2023 mission statement of the college of aldermen.
The City's policy priorities are housing, transport, urban development, education and social cohesion, the environment and safety.
The budget is both a legal and political instrument, subject to a vote of consent by the municipal council, followed by the approval of the Minister of Home Affairs (Ministre de l'intérieur).
Structure
The budget comprises an ordinary and an extraordinary section, both for receipts and expenses. The ordinary section lists the current receipts and expenses, and the extraordinary section lists the capital transactions.
The ordinary and extraordinary sections are divided into functional codes representing the City's various departments, activities and responsibilities.
The budget items indicate the type of receipt or expense, and correspond to the municipalities' standard chart of accounts that is predefined by the Minister of Home Affairs.
