Detroit council adopts 2026–27 budget after brief public hearing with no testimony
Summary
The City of Detroit adopted its 2026–27 budget and tax categorization by unanimous council vote after a public hearing at which no members of the public provided testimony.
Mayor Page called the City of Detroit special session budget public hearing to order at 3:12 p.m. on June 4, 2026, and opened the public hearing on the proposed 2026–27 budget, soliciting testimony on levied property taxes and use of state revenue sharing and other tax distributions. "Hearing none," the mayor closed the public portion and moved the meeting to council action.
The council considered Resolution 6‑86, described in the meeting as adopting the budget, making appropriations, and imposing and categorizing the tax for fiscal year 2026–27. A motion and second were recorded and the Clerk called the roll; Councilor Tisdale, Councilor Smith, Councilor Nielsen, Councilor O'Donnell and Mayor Page were recorded as voting Aye. The motion passed unanimously with Greg Shepherd and Bill McCall absent with notice. The transcript does not specify dollar totals or effective dates in the recorded discussion.
