FOR CITY AND COUNTY LEADERS
BUDGETS THAT SOUND LIKE
YOUR COMMUNITY.
Built for local government. Departments build service level rubrics. Outcome measures show what each level delivers — and community members test the trade-offs before council decides.
THE PROBLEM
BUDGETS ARE WRITTEN FOR ACCOUNTANTS. DECISIONS BELONG TO EVERYONE ELSE.
LINE ITEMS, NOT CHOICES
Councils vote on documents that list what things cost, not what service the money buys.
EXPERTS IN THE ROOM, COMMUNITY OUTSIDE
The people most affected by service cuts are the last to weigh in — after the decisions are already made.
NO SHARED LANGUAGE
Finance speaks in funds and functions. Departments speak in programs. Community members speak in outcomes. Nobody is translating.
THE SOLUTION
A MIXING BOARD FOR PUBLIC SERVICES.
MuniMixboard gives every department a set of faders — service levels from high to low — each with a price tag and a plain-language description of what community members actually get. Council moves the faders. The budget follows.
Service Level Rubrics
Each department defines high, medium, and low service levels with clear outcome descriptions and costs.
Community Testing
Community members use a budget simulation to test trade-offs before council decides.
Council-Ready Output
Results come back as a prioritized report council can act on — not a raw data dump.
FRONT OF HOUSE
THE ENGINEER READS THE ROOM.
A great mix isn't built in isolation — it's built by listening to the crowd. MuniMixboard brings that same discipline to public budgeting: read what community members are telling you, then tune the levels accordingly.
