2026 Budgets: Get Involved
Your voice matters! The City's annual budgets play a key role in shaping the services, infrastructure, and programs that impact your daily life—from roads and parks to emergency services and community initiatives. As we plan for the year ahead, we invite residents, businesses, and community partners to be part of the budget process.
We are focused on adopting a budget that reflects shared priorities and addresses the evolving needs of our community. Whether you want to learn more, share your input, or participate in upcoming engagement opportunities, this page is your go-to hub for staying informed and getting involved.
