On October 14, 2024, a meeting was held where the Mayor and City Council reviewed the Strategic Framework, Capital Improvement Project Guidelines, and Financial Policies while considering the significant budgetary impacts for the upcoming fiscal year. The City Council then provided direction in the form of General Fund priorities, that will serve as a foundation for recommendations to be brought forward in subsequent budget planning meetings for discussion and approval.
As a part of the budget development process, the Budget Office conducted a survey of residents late November 2024, through mid-January 2025. The survey provides residents a chance to voice their opinions on various topics related to Quality of Life, Return on Tax Dollars, Citizen Satisfaction with Overall City Services and City Council Strategic Goals. The survey results were compiled and shared with the Mayor and City Council members.
