Proposed FY 2025 Budget

Development of the Proposed FY 2025 Budget included a thorough review of revenue and financial options to ensure that the use of available resources is maximized to serve the community while maintaining a good value to tax and rate payers and consistency with Council priorities. The total Proposed FY 2025 Budget is $3.3 billion. The proposed budget is comprised of the annual operating budget and the FY 2025 – 2029 Capital Investment Plan (CIP). The annual operating budget reflects day-to-day operations, while the CIP represents large capital outlays over a five-year time horizon. A public hearing on the proposed budget is scheduled for 6:30 p.m., or as soon as practicable thereafter, on Monday, May 13, 2024.
