Budget Process Calendar
Mayor R.T. Rybak will present the next year’s budget to the City Council in August. The Council will consider the budget from August through November. The Council is scheduled to give its final approval in December.
Cities are required to set a date for a Truth in Taxation hearing and a date for a potential continuation hearing. Budget adoption must follow a continuation hearing, if the continuation hearing is needed. The continuation hearing must be at least 5 business days from the initial truth in taxation hearing.
