5 Budget Decisions That Will Shape Local Government Through 2030
In this episode of Untangled, an experienced public-sector consultant walks through the five critical technology areas local governments must prioritize as they prepare 2026–2027 budgets.
With AI now overtaking cybersecurity as the top strategic priority among state CIOs, agencies face mounting pressure to modernize—without overspending, reacting impulsively, or locking themselves into the wrong tools.
This discussion covers:
- Why budgeting for AI products is a mistake—and what to fund instead
- How data quality and governance determine whether automation succeeds
- Cybersecurity as an operational utility, not a one-time project
- Cloud and infrastructure modernization strategies that enable—not block—innovation
- ERP replacement decisions and the 80/20 trap most agencies fall into
The episode also outlines eight common budgeting mistakes to avoid, including reactive spending, software bloat, and underfunding foundational capabilities.
Designed for city managers, finance directors, CIOs, procurement leaders, and elected officials, this conversation provides a strategic framework for making disciplined technology decisions that will impact agencies for the next decade—not just the next fiscal year.
