Participatory Budgeting (PB) is a democratic process that was first developed in Brazil in 1989, and is now practiced in 1,500 cities around the world. In these cities, PB lets community members directly decide how to spend part of a public budget. Though each PB initiative looks different, the process generally involves several months of public meetings, discussions, and voting, so that the publi

c has time to make wise decisions. In 2012, the Vallejo City Council established the first city-wide Participatory Budgeting process in the United States. Through PB, the community is invited to help decide how to spend a minimum of 30% of the revenue generated by the Measure B sales tax - approximately $3.2 million, collected over a 15 month period from April 1, 2012 through June 30, 2013. Vallejo residents and stakeholders will develop and vote on projects, and the list of the projects that receive the most votes will be submitted to City Council for approval. From Oct. 30th through Dec. 5th, the people of Vallejo will have the chance to learn more about PB and submit project ideas at a series of Neighborhood Assemblies scheduled to take place around the city. Visit our website for the schedule of Assemblies and opportunities to get involved! For more information on participatory budgeting in the U.S. and elsewhere, see these links:
