ITEM 1 FISCAL YEAR 2026-27 BUDGET
Each year the City goes through a budget process to develop the annual budget. This process

the adoption of a balanced annual budget. The budget process involves the members of the
City Council, the Commissions, all City departments, and the community.
RECOMMENDED ACTION: City Council; Planning Commission; Parks, Recreation, &
Community Services Commission; and Arts Commission receive the presentation on the
proposed FY 2026-27 Budget.
FISCAL YEAR 2026-27 BUDGET

activity and community development.
