Summary

Council held first reading of the FY2026 budget calendar, outlining department deadlines and public hearings in March–April 2025; members were asked to review dates for conflicts before final readings.

The council conducted a first reading of Resolution O5-2024, which sets a calendar for preparation and adoption of the fiscal year 2026 budget. The resolution lays out timelines for department submissions, manager presentations and public hearings.

Key dates included in the calendar presented by Valerie Woodall: budget instructions issued Oct. 31, 2024; a deadline for department submissions on Dec. 27, 2024; the city manager’s proposed budget presentation to council on Feb. 18, 2025; a public hearing on March 22, 2025 with follow-up work sessions, and first- and second-reading windows in April 2025 (including an April 1 discussion and an April 15 second reading). The resolution notes a final-adoption deadline in accordance with the city charter of June 30, 2025.

Council members were asked to flag conflicts (for example, spring break and holiday windows) before the next meeting so staff and clerks can finalize dates. The calendar may be amended by council action before final adoption.
