City council budget
• El presupuesto propio del Ayuntamiento de Palma para el 2011 es de 391.365.000 euros, 24 millones menos que en 2010 (un 5,78% inferior). Incluso es inferior, en un 6,5% al de 2007
• El avance del presupuesto consolidado (con empresas y organismos públicos) sería de 544.688.574 euros, unos 41,5 millones menos que en 2010 (un 7,1%). Sería incluso un 16,6% inferior al de 2007
• Las inversiones priorizarán proyectos como mejoras en la barriada de Pere Garau, el inicio de la rehabilitación del edificio de Gesa , el comienzo de la última fase del parque de la fachada, el inicio del polideportivo de Son Cladera o la constitución del Consorcio público privado de turismo
From a news item on this year's budget, Palma City Council. I have a few ideas about this, and am mostly doubtful about "avance" (would that be "forecast" in this context??) but I could do with a little help as how to put this in English - financial language is not my strongest point. Thanks in advance.

the draft/preliminary consolidated budget (including public agencies and corporations)
You could say 'draft' or 'preliminary'. The entities mentioned are the full-fledged government agencies plus semiautonomous corporations that provide services like water, electricity, trash collection, and mail delivery, depending on how the city manages its business.

: this really is basically the same as the earlier answer// well I cannot speak for USA but here in Europe the terms suggested in the first answer are perfectly understandable, and we don't use "corporations" often

I don't agree: they are not called 'public enterprises', and they are not called 'bodies'.

That's nonsense. With "UK" added to the search, the phrase comes up in 108,000 examples.; 2,710,000 hits if you take off UK - and they include all English-speaking countries.
