Which would you prioritize in your role during the budget process?

Context:

City council sets an operating and capital budget every four years. Twice annually, councillors adjust the budget and finalize a tax increase or decrease for the coming year. In March, council voted to transition to a zero-based budgeting process. Council will start the budget at zero rather than use a past budget as a starting point.
