Item S600 - Updated City Council Budget Priorities

Per the City Charter, the first step for the City Council in the City’s annual budget process is the development of the annual Budget Priorities Resolution.

The annual Budget Priorities Resolution is first developed and approved in the fall; and Council also has the opportunity to update its initial Budget Priorities Resolution in February. This annual resolution has been approved by the City Council each year since 2006, and its development is included in the FY 2026 Budget Development and FY 2025 Budget Monitoring Key Dates, which was approved by the City Council on November 12, 2024.

This item would accept IBA Report 25-05 with any desired modifications, and direct the IBA to deliver that report, together with each Councilmember’s FY 2026 budget priorities memorandum update, to the Mayor’s Office for consideration during the preparation of the FY 2026 Proposed Budget.
