Mayor Lily Wu urges public to review proposed 02/2027 city-manager budget
Summary
Mayor Lily Wu highlighted the city manager's proposed 02/2027 budget as the council's top discussion item, urged residents to review materials at wichita.gov/budget and to contact council members or the mayor with comments.
Mayor Lily Wu used a brief council recap to spotlight the city manager's proposed 02/2027 budget and encouraged residents to weigh in. "There's still an opportunity for you to make your voice heard regarding that proposed budget," she said, directing listeners to wichita.gov/budget and to email dlcitycouncilmembers@wichita.gov with their district identified.
Wu framed the budget as a central item that affects city services and property-tax allocations. She summarized the property-tax breakdown presented in the recap, saying the City of Wichita represents approximately 29% of property taxes, Sedgwick County about 23% and the largest share (46%) goes to the local USD; the recorded dollar figure in the audio was unclear. The mayor did not announce a public hearing date in the recap; residents seeking details should consult the budget page or contact their district council member.
