Chief Operating Officer Brent Goldberg shared the $221 million budget with council members today. That's a 1.9 percent, or $4 million increase over this year.
The budget includes no tax increase, a raise for most city employees and big money going to police, fire and paving.
This is Berke's second full budget made with the Budgeting for Outcomes method.
If the budget is approved as drafted, city workers who make $50,000 or less, will be getting $750 increases. Those who make more will be seeing a 1.5 percent increase, according to a city budget summary.
Nearly half of the budget is aimed at the mayor's Safer Streets category, which mainly goes toward funding police and fire department initiatives.
But much of that will go toward funding the Family Justice Center and a special victims unit at the Chattanooga Police Department in an effort to reduce domestic violence, which accounts for 30 percent of the city's violent crime.
Another big increase will be in the city's street paving program. Goldberg said there will be $3.2 million added to the program, which is an 80 percent increase over 2013.
