~ Bloomington City Council Approves $151 Million 2025 Civil City Budget
On Wednesday, Oct. 9, the City of Bloomington City Council unanimously voted to approve the 2025 Civil City Budget, totaling $151 million. The budget includes one amendment to eliminate a $250,000 allocation from the Parking Meter Fund in order to comply with allowable uses specified by ordinance.
Councilmember Isabel Piedmont-Smith expressed her gratitude towards the City's Controller, Jessica McClellan, for her hard work on the budget. She also thanked Deputy Mayor Gretchen Knapp and Mayor Kerry Thomson for listening to the Council's priorities during the summer and budget hearings in August.
Piedmont-Smith stated, "I think there was good, much better listening on both sides than in the past, and I am pleased with the budget we have before us and I'll be pleased to support it."
The 2025 budget focuses on achieving the administration's one-year goals. These goals include improving Human Resources policies and practices such as salary compensation and job classification, increasing transparency and engagement initiatives, implementing long-term budgeting and financial strategies, executing major projects, and modernizing internal processes.

One notable aspect of the budget is a $6 million allocation to implement findings from a 2023 salary study. This will ensure competitive compensation and job classification improvements for all city employees.
The City Council and administration will continue working together towards meeting these goals. A vote on salary ordinances for city employees is expected on Wednesday, Oct. 30. This vote is necessary to meet Indiana law's Nov. 1 deadline.
During a Committee of the Whole meeting on Sept. 25, Councilmember Matt Flaherty commented that this was "the most productive period between budget hearings and adoption hearing" he has experienced as a councilmember.
Mayor Kerry Thomson also expressed her satisfaction with the approved budget. She stated that it is a result of numerous conversations, community input, and a shared commitment between the administration and City Council to meet the needs of Bloomington residents. Thomson added that the budget reflects the city's priorities and outcomes-based approach. She also thanked the Council for their partnership and the hard work of the Cabinet.
The City of Bloomington's fiscal year begins on January 1. The approved budget can be viewed on the city's website at bloomington.in.gov/city/budget.
