Summary

Staff laid out the 2026 budget calendar and requested board feedback on departmental priorities, with key dates in June–October for staffing, capital and readings to adopt the budget; staff will return with department-level details and follow-up analyses.

Staff summarized a multi-month budget calendar: staffing and downtown snow-removal discussions in June, capital and compensation conversations in July, a nine‑month update in August, a first draft in September and readings to adopt in October. They asked the board to flag items they wanted included, noting this is not the final budget and compensation discussions remain outstanding.

Board members highlighted topics to track — downtown snow removal, World Cup event-related costs, stormwater subdivision reviews and the IBTS inspection contract changes that were offset by in‑house capacity. Staff will prepare follow-up briefings and more detailed cost/benefit analyses for the board during the coming work sessions.
