Good evening, Mr.

Each year we are mandated to provide a balanced budget for approval and adoption.

The budget is a comprehensive document which outlined how funds will be expended to provide the level of service for our residents and our businesses, while at the same time develop capital programs and projects.

An increase of 19.3 million dollars from fiscal year 2024.

This budget represents the city's continued path towards growth, community service, infrastructure improvement, and economic development.
