Join your neighbors at a budget listening session

Get ready to connect, learn, and make your voice heard.

These in-person gatherings are designed for community members in each district to learn and weigh in on what is most important to you. Each listening session begins with a brief overview of the budget which helps to get oriented to the fiscal year 2026-27 process. Then City Council members will share information, their observations, and remarks about the budget, next a facilitator will invite community members who want to provide up to two minutes of public comment to speak. Those using translation services will have more time available.

Whether you're there to provide feedback, share ideas, or highlight what matters most to you - we want to hear from you.

Every meeting:

• Will have ASL interpretation available onsite.
