Summary
The mayor transmitted a $222,882,585 FY2027 operating budget (a 4.24% increase over FY2026). The council voted to refer the budget to the finance committee and set a public hearing for May 18, 2026.
The mayor transmitted a proposed fiscal year 2027 operating budget of $222,882,585 — a 4.24% increase over the FY2026 appropriation — at the May 4 Marlborough City Council meeting. The proposal was made available in the city clerk’s office and on the city website.
Councilor Irish moved to refer the proposed budget to the finance committee and to set a public hearing for May 18, 2026; the motion carried. The finance committee scheduled review sessions for May 11, 12 and 13 at 6:30 p.m., according to a public-service announcement during the meeting.
Why it matters: The dollar total and percentage increase outline the mayor’s spending plan and set the near-term schedule for committee review and public comment. Next steps: the finance committee will review line items at the May sessions and the council will hold the public hearing on May 18.
