Everman sets FY2026 budget calendar; July workshop and August tax-rate hearings scheduled
Summary
City staff presented the fiscal year 2026 budget calendar: a major budget workshop in July to review payroll, benefits and funds, followed by property tax-rate discussions and public hearings in August, with adoption and ratification scheduled in August and September.
City staff presented the proposed FY2026 budget calendar to the Everman City Council, outlining key meetings and deadlines for the summer budget process.
Major meetings include a July budget workshop to review payroll, benefits, the water and sewer fund and special revenue expenditures. Staff said the meeting will be a Friday starting at 1 p.m. with lunch provided beforehand. August meetings will focus on proposed property tax rates, revenue estimates and preparation of the budget book. Staff plans a public hearing on the tax rate and proposed budget in August, with adoption of the proposed budget that same month and a September meeting to ratify the property tax rate and record the vote on the tax-rate ordinance.
Councilmembers raised scheduling conflicts with a July date and staff said budget books would be distributed to council members in advance; staff also offered one-on-one time to review materials for members with conflicts. The council did not take formal budget votes at the meeting; calendar adoption was discussed as the planning timeline for the FY2026 process.
