Your opinion matters! Share your thoughts on how funds should be prioritized.
Budget and Management Services will host listening sessions between Oct. 1 and Oct. 16 in locations throughout the City. This is your chance to tell us what’s important to you as we prepare to develop next year’s budget (fiscal year 2027).
Virtual Session
The virtual listening session will be held via Zoom. Residents who choose the virtual session will receive the Zoom link the day before the session.
In-Person Sessions
In-person sessions will be held at community centers in each district.
Resident feedback is critically important to ensure a representative budget. Please plan to attend only one session so that everyone has the opportunity to share their thoughts.
