informed the City’s conservative approach to the FY 2025/26 budget.
On April 29, 2025, staff presented the Proposed FY 2025/26 Operating Budget and
CIP to the Mayor and City Council. A second budget workshop was scheduled to allow
for further review of the budget document and discussion.

Works department will present the preliminary proposed FY 2025/26 operating and CIP
budget to the Mayor and City Council.
