Subject: Approval to Set Workshop and Hearing Dates for FY 2026/2027 Budget Process.
(Finance Director Weber)
Background Summary:
Workshops are held during August for staff and the Commission to discuss the proposed budget for the
upcoming fiscal year. Public hearings are required by the TRIM Act in September, serving as a mechanism to
notify the citizens of the proposed budget and allow the opportunity for their comments.
Issue:
The TRIM Act has specific timeframes for scheduling and holding the required hearings. The hearing dates
cannot conflict with Orange County (9/10 and 9/24) or Orange County School Board (7/28 and 9/08) hearing
dates.
Recommendations:
Potential dates for the budget workshops and hearings are restrictive due to the timing of the holidays and
vacation schedules.
Staff recommends the City Commission approve the following dates for the August budget workshops:
August 5th and 19th
Staff recommends the City Commission approve the following dates for the September budget hearings:
September 9th and 23rd
Workshops and hearings will begin at 6:00 p.m.
Attachments:
None
Financial Impacts:
Decisions resulting from the workshops and hearings will establish the operating budget for fiscal year
2026/2027
