When decisions happen
City and county offices prepare budget estimates by early July. They go to the city controller. The controller checks them and reports to the executive. The executive decides what amounts to propose. The controller then drafts the spending and tax-rate plans. These go to the city clerk. That is due by the Council's first August meeting. By law the budget, tax rate and levy must be fixed by November 1.
Each yearBudget estimates by early July; plans filed by the Council's first August meeting
Next electionNext city election: November 2027, the first Tuesday after the first Monday
