Oakbrook Terrace holds special budget workshop as FY26/27 planning continues
Summary
City Administrator T. Walker led a Feb. 17 workshop to brief the council on FY26/27 preliminary estimates, the budgeting timeline and next steps; a follow-up meeting is scheduled for March 18, 2026.
Oakbrook Terrace held a Special City Council budget workshop on Feb. 17, 2026, to review preliminary estimates for fiscal year 2026–27 and explain the city’s budget process. City Administrator T. Walker opened the session and said the purpose "was to educate the council on where the money comes from, where it goes, and what government funding looks like," framing the meeting as informational rather than a final adoption of figures.
Walker told council members that budget planning began in October 2025 and that department heads had engaged in numerous conversations with staff to identify potential cuts and increases. The minutes note a follow-up Special Budget Council Meeting set for March 18, 2026, when the administration plans a more thorough review of the FY26/27 budget. No formal budget adoption occurred at the Feb. 17 session.
