Councilor Cates, finance committee chair, said hearing dates for the FY2027 budget will be circulated to councilors the next morning and requested that the finance committee review the dates before they are shared with the full council.

Councilor Cates, chairman of the finance committee, told the council he has identified dates for the upcoming budget hearings and said the auditor’s office will circulate them the next morning. "The dates for the budget hearings will be sent to the council tomorrow morning from the auditor's office. I've identified the dates.
