Supplemental Requests

Each budget season, Departments evaluate their needs for new programs, personnel, and tools or equipment
that will enable them to better serve the citizens of Bedford. If these items cannot be re-allocated within their
existing budget, the Department submits a supplemental request. These requests are evaluated by the City
Manager, who decides which items will be recommended for funding in the proposed budget when presented
to the City Council. Based on available funds, not all supplemental requests can be approved.

The Request description in the tables below are hyperlinks to more detailed information for each request.
