Mount Rainier council holds first reading of FY 2027 budget calendar
Summary
Council held a first reading of Resolution 09‑2025, outlining calendar and deadlines for the FY2027 budget process including submission dates, public hearing on March 21, 2026, and possible adoption in April–June 2026; no vote was taken.
The Mount Rainier mayor and council conducted the first reading Oct. 7 of Resolution 09‑2025, which sets the proposed calendar for preparing the city’s FY 2027 budget.
Valerie and the mayor reviewed calendar milestones: a work session already held on Sept. 16, the first reading on Oct. 7, a second reading and adoption scheduled for Nov. 4, 2025, department budget submission deadlines (Dec. 31, 2025), the manager’s proposed budget submission in February 2026, a public hearing planned for March 21, 2026, and potential ordinance adoption in April–June 2026. The resolution notes the final deadline to adopt the FY 2027 budget is June 30, 2026, and that the calendar may be amended by the council.
The mayor thanked staff for preparing the calendar and urged committee chairs and department directors to meet the listed deadlines to keep the process on schedule. Because this was a first reading, the council did not vote to adopt the calendar at the meeting.
