Budget workshop drew large turnout; June 2 adoption hearing set

City staff said the recent budget workshop attracted an unusually high turnout (about 40–50 people in the chambers) and that the formal adoption hearing for the budget will occur on June 2 at the regular meeting. "There's about 60 questions and answers," the Moderator said of the finance Q&A posted on the finance website, calling the document a useful resource for residents who want to understand the budget process.

The Moderator thanked council and staff for the workshop and said the budget season is nearing its culmination. Staff said the June regular meeting will include the adoption item and that additional Q&A will be added ahead of that hearing.

The city did not provide further details about specific budget line items during the briefing. Staff encouraged residents to review the posted Q&A document for fuller explanation of the draft budget and upcoming procedures.
