2024 Budget Process


The 2024 Budget meetings will be held in person; you may attend in person or participate in the process by registering to speak virtually at an upcoming budget session (see below). Once the Mayor has presented the Proposed 2024 Budget, we will be accepting your written comment using this Budget Public Participation Comment Card. Please note: this link will go live on October 5, 2023, and will accept comment until the 2024 budget has been adopted.

You can register to speak at any Public Hearing Budget Meeting between 9:00 am - 3:00 pm on the day of the meeting using the Budget Speaker Registration Form. 2024 City Budget scheduled Public Hearings occur on Weds 10/11, Thurs 10/13, & Wed 11/1/2023 at 6pm.

The budget meetings will be streamed live on the City's Public Meetings YouTube Channel and available there for later viewing.
