Work on the city’s budget for fiscal year 2026 is underway! Each year, this process helps us plan how to use public dollars to support city services, programs and projects that matter to our community.
FWLab staff will share updates at City Council work sessions from April through August. These meetings are a chance for the City Council and the community to learn more about what’s shaping the budget.
In August, the city manager will share a recommended budget with the City Council. Then in September, the council will vote on the final budget and tax rate for the upcoming year. The new fiscal year starts Oct. 1, 2025.
Stay tuned for updates throughout the process!
