About the Budget Process

The City Council approves a budget each year to fully serve its 16,000 residents and nationally recognized school system. The City's fiscal year begins July 1 and ends June 30; for example, FY2025 begins on July 1, 2024 and ends June 30, 2025.

The City Manager typically presents the proposed budget in late March or early April. After a number of public hearings, town hall meetings, and work sessions, the City Council typically adopts the budget in late April or early May. A calendar of meeting dates, public hearings, and town halls is available here.
