Commission directs staff to schedule multiple 2026 budget workshops; tentative July meeting discussed
Summary
City staff asked the commission to set budget-workshop dates. Commissioners discussed late-June and July options and directed staff to schedule at least two workshops; a tentative workshop for July 15 at 06:00 (time of day not specified in the transcript) was discussed and staff will confirm dates with commissioners.
City staff asked the commission to set dates for the 2026 budget workshops and noted past practice of holding one session in June and two in July. The aim was to schedule enough workshops for department presentations and to allow time for line-item review.
Staff asked commissioners to check calendars so at least two workshops could be arranged. Commissioners discussed multiple possible dates, including late June and early July options, and identified July 15 as a tentative date with a 06:00 start time; commissioners discussed whether that time was 6 a.m. or 6 p.m. and the transcript does not clearly record the time-of-day intention. City staff said they would follow up to set firm dates with commissioners and department heads.
Why it matters: Budget workshops set the schedule for department presentations, appropriation requests and public input ahead of the fiscal-year adoption process. Commissioners highlighted the need to coordinate around other community events and county budget inputs.
What’s next: Staff will schedule at least two workshops and circulate confirmed dates and times to commissioners; department heads will prepare presentations on discretionary increases and cuts for those workshops.
