Agency Requests
Agency requests are the first step in building Madison’s budget. These proposals are ideas from agencies on how best to achieve the goals outlined in the Mayor’s budget message. The Mayor and the Common Council will decide which of these potential reductions to make as they finalize the 2025 operating budget.
