The Office of Management and Budget supports the City of Rochester’s Mission, Vision, and Values through the collection, analysis, and evaluation of data and by providing information, forecasts, and recommendations for the use of City resources with the goal of ensuring that limited resources are aligned with strategic priorities.

Fortunately, through sound business practices, the City has remained financially stable and continues to pursue ways to grow its tax base. Attracting new residents and businesses to the City of Rochester who will prosper benefits the entire Rochester community and advances Mayor Malik D. Evans' community-first compact to deliver hope and opportunity to the people of Rochester and build a bridge to a future of prosperity for all city stakeholders.
