Council committee reviews draft 2027 community development and public works budgets
Summary
In committee sessions during the June 8 meeting, the council reviewed draft 2027 budgets: community development rose from about $4.5 million to just under $4.7 million, while public works showed an almost $3 million increase tied to scheduling two street projects funded by the pavement sales tax.
Zach Donahue, communications director for the city of Shawnee, said council committee sessions included presentations of the community development and public works budgets for 2027. Donahue summarized that community development’s budget would increase slightly from about $4.5 million in 2026 to just under $4.7 million in 2027.
Donahue said the public works budget showed an almost $3 million increase from 2026 to 2027, primarily because the department plans to undertake two street improvement projects next year instead of the usual one; the additional work is funded through the pavement sales tax, Donahue reported. The summary did not include line-item breakdowns or final adoption; the materials in the council packet and future meetings will show detailed figures and any proposed changes.
Council members did not record votes on overall budgets during the presentation; further committee review or formal readings may follow as the budget process continues.
