The Council will accept the proposed budget for review. Background Each year during the first Council Meeting in May, the Mayor is required to present a proposed budget for the upcoming fiscal year. The Council accepts the proposed budget for review and, through a series of work sessions, reviews the proposal over the next two months. A tentative budget is adopted after an initial public hearing is held. A second public hearing is held at the time of adoption of the final budget. During the budget hearings, the Council outlines their proposed changes to the proposed budget and accepts public input. Once the final public hearing is closed, the Council makes its changes and adopts the final City budget. By State law, a budget must be adopted by June 22. An exception to the timing is allowed if a proposed property tax increase has been included in the budget.
