MAYOR/COUNCIL PRIORITIES
2026 - 2027
How do City leaders decide the budget plans that shape our city's future?
It all begins with a discussion of priorities at the annual Mayor/Council Budget Retreat.
These priorities then inform the City's fiscal year budget. The next fiscal year runs from July 1, 2026, to June 30, 2027, and is the City’s financial roadmap, or spending plan, for the year.
