Chair opens tentative RDA FY2026–27 budget hearing; no public comments

The RDA held a tentative fiscal year 2026–27 budget public hearing on Tuesday, May 19, 2026. The chair opened the hearing and asked staff whether there would be a presentation. A staff member said, “No presentation other than the, the budget for the RDA is available online for review and has been available to all of you for review as well,” and the hearing was held to receive any public comment on that budget.

The meeting’s consent agenda, including approval of the minutes from 05/05/2026, was approved by general consent after the chair asked if there were any objections. The chair also noted in roll call that one member, DeShawn, was excused.

The chair opened the public-comment portion of the hearing and asked whether anyone wished to speak; no members of the public came forward. The chair then closed the public-hearing portion. Later, the chair said, “Motion to adjourn.” A second was recorded in the transcript but the speaker identifying the second was not separately named. The chair called for a voice vote; the transcript records an “Aye” and the meeting was adjourned. No roll-call vote tally or formal vote record was provided in the transcript.

Because staff indicated the budget materials are available online, members of the public interested in the tentative FY2026–27 RDA budget should consult those posted documents for details; the transcript does not include line-item amounts or funding breakdowns.
