City Budget Process
Participate in the Budget Process
Approving the City’s Annual Budget is one of the most important decisions made by City Council. The 2024 budget will be based on staff recommendations and input received from the community.
The public is invited to attend any or all City Council meetings where the budget is discussed. The City will also provide additional engagement opportunities for residents who wish to participate in the budget process.
The following is a tentative schedule for discussions on important aspects of the City’s Budget.
