Budget 2026

What matters to you?

We ask for community member feedback every year as part of our annual budget process. Please stay tuned for the 2026 engagement summary report.

Budget process

Each year, based on Council direction, City staff develop an annual budget that outlines where, when, and how funds should be spent to deliver quality services to meet the needs of the community, support businesses, and deliver on strategic priorities.

The process of weighing the needs and requests of the community, maintaining service levels, and addressing key priorities results in the City's financial plan.

View the 2025 - 2029 Financial Plan.

Feedback from the online survey and in-person events will help Council adopt a financial plan that reflects the community’s needs and priorities.

Where your property tax dollars and utilities fees go

The City collects taxes and fees to fund services. Only a small portion of funds collected stay with the City. Learn about where your tax and utility dollars go.
