URBST 257/742 Public Budgeting will be offered Saturday, 1pm-4pm in Spring 2019, and enroll ASAP, if interested. COURSE DESCRIPTION: Budgets are used to plan and control the major activities of modern organizations. This course examines contemporary government budgeting practices within the context of urban politics, public administration, and collective bargaining. The emphasis is on the budgeting process in New York City's government, beginning with the role of the fiscal crisis of 1974-75 in reforming City government budgeting. This course explores the components and varieties of City budgets, the influence of political corruption, of changes in the private sector and their impact on the public sector, and the effect of federal and state policy on local budgeting. Guest speakers from the Mayor's Office of Operations, the New York City Council, and agencies with the City government will discuss present-day concerns and opportunities for budgeting improvement. ?
