What this means
The City Council began the first day of hearings on the proposed Fiscal Year 2027 budget, which outlines how much each city agency is estimated to need for operating and capital projects. The hearing was opened and the ordinance of estimates (the city’s proposed budget plan) was placed on the public hearing schedule; no final vote or budget adoption is recorded in these minutes. Residents can follow the remaining hearings to see how the proposed spending may change before the final budget is adopted.
