Local City Budget Allocation Economic Report

You are a public official elected at the local city level who serves a population of 50,000 to 250,000 people. A budget of 10 million dollars has been allocated to you by the city manager, and you can get up to 100% of this amount in matching federal funds if you meet the federal standards. 

You have been asked by the mayor to determine how to allocate the budget to best support the needs of the city. These could include, but not be limited to, supporting capital requirements, operational requirements, and subsidizing nonprofit organizations, or using economic incentives to bring new private concerns into the city. 

Prepare a report for the mayor and city council on your proposed expenditure plan. In your report, reflect on the financial, legal, and alternative health care models. 

In addition, reinforce your knowledge of strategic planning and capital budgeting by using an electronic spreadsheet to display the financials.
