A. Issue
Council and Committee meetings for the 2027 budget process will begin in late September, 2026. The budget process begins with an overview presentation to the Committee of the Whole, followed by Financial Affairs Committee review and discussion in subsequent weeks.
B. Background/Options
The September Common Council meeting is currently scheduled for September 22. After discussion with Finance Director Ruggini, the budget materials will not be ready for presentation on September 22.
As a result, we are requesting that the Common Council calendar be amended by moving the September Council meeting to the following Tuesday, September 29, to allow for a budget presentation to the Committee of the Whole.
C. Recommendation
I recommend the Common Council amend the September 2026 Common Council meeting calendar by moving committee meetings to September 22, and the Council meeting to September 29.
