Anniston mayor outlines timeline for fiscal 2026 budget adoption
Summary
Mayor said the city manager will present the budget Aug. 5, the council will hold public budget workshops after Aug. 19, and the council must adopt the fiscal 2026 budget by Sept. 27 at the latest.
Mayor (name not specified), mayor of Anniston, outlined the timetable for the city's fiscal year 2026 budget process during the Mayor's Moment update, saying the city manager will deliver the proposed budget on Aug. 5 and the finance director will present it to the council the same day.
The mayor said the council will hold public budget workshops after Aug. 19 to review proposed amendments, discuss priorities and answer questions, and that the council expects to adopt the fiscal 2026 budget sometime in September. The mayor added that "the last and final date that this council can adopt the budget for fiscal year 2026 is on September 27."
The remarks described schedule and process rather than final appropriations: no appropriation amounts or votes were announced during the segment. The mayor encouraged public participation during the workshops and said the council will continue to refine the proposal in that public process.
