Dealing with the uncertainty of its finances amid the COVID-19 public health crisis, the city of Birmingham will postpone its FY 2021 budget for three months, Mayor Randall Woodfin said Tuesday.
The plan is to present the budget to the city council on August 20 with the budget going into effect October 1, he said.
Woodfin said the city is expecting “anywhere from a $75 million to $110 million impact on the 2021 budget.”
Meanwhile, the city will continue to operate with the 2020 FY budget with certain cost modification that are still being identified, said Woodfin.
In other business, the City Council voted to extend the city’s ordinance requiring face coverings in public spaces until Friday, May 29.
