Your feedback helps us prioritize what to improve next.
The proposals are intended to close most of the City’s budget gap through spending reductions, operational changes, and new revenue ideas, but they were not presented as a final adopted budget. Police and fire would face smaller reductions than other departments, though they would not be fully exempt. Staff planned to use council feedback in July and August to prepare a proposed budget for release in early September, with adoption anticipated in October.
