2027 City Budget Development

Liberty Lake's 2027 city budget development is already under way. An important part of this process is finding out YOUR input about the city's programs, services, and revenues for the coming year. Please take the opportunity to respond to our "Talkback Tuesdays" questions and forums, and let us know your thoughts on each week's new topic. These weekly topics will remain open into this fall for your contributions.
