AFA Budget Workshop – November 30th at 9 AM.

More deeper dive stuff on the upcoming AFA FY22 budget:

Here is a quick overview of the AFA budget adoption process:

  • Draft budget prepared before AFA Membership Budget Workshop, considering the known cost drivers and revenue projections for the FY22 fiscal.
    • Significant cost drivers will be Spring 2022 bargaining and binding arbitration along with Fall 2022 City Council races
  • November 30th, 2021 – AFA Membership Budget Workshop
  • December 6th, 2021 – At AFA Eboard meeting, the proposed FY22 AFA budget is finalized
  • December 7th, 2021 – AFA agenda posted announcing December 14h AFA General Membership Meeting
  • December 14th AFA Membership Meeting where proposed AFA budget is presented
  • December 21st to 23rd, online vote to adopt AFA Proposed budget

FY22 Budget notes

  • FY 22 budget will be challenging given the over $425,000.00 spending on the Spring 2021 Binding Arbitration campaign
  • The Council race for the Fall of 2022 is an important one. This is the first time that Council members of the first 10-1 Austin City Council will “term-out”. Therefore, we will have (5) new Councilmembers and (1) new Mayor as a result of this election. The AFA goal to is have a significant war chest established for this election.
  • IF the firefighters and City management do not reach a deal at the bargaining table, approximately 30 days later we will enter a binding arbitration process. This is an expensive endeavor and will require large sums of money
