FY26 Budget

As we embark on shaping the FY26 city budget, we will be navigating what may be the most arduous budgeting process in recent memory. Our community is currently confronting tremendous challenges. As we strive to ensure that the costs of delivering key city services remain sustainable, inevitably there will be noticible reductions in services due to cost-saving cuts. Over the coming months, we will engage in a comprehensive and rigorous public process to design a city budget that meets the needs of residents and financial sustainability.
