Annual Budget

This year’s budget theme, Celebrating Our Past. Investing in Our Future., recognizes America’s upcoming 250th anniversary while reflecting the City’s continued focus on meeting today’s needs and planning for the future.

The Proposed FY 2027 Budget totals approximately $570.8 million across all funds and includes significant investment through the City’s Capital Improvement Program.

The budget is structurally balanced, with revenues exceeding operational expenditures, and maintains a focus on core services, infrastructure, and long-term fiscal stability.

Key priorities in this year’s budget include:

• Public safety staffing and facility improvements
• Street and neighborhood infrastructure upgrades
• Parks, recreation, and community amenities
• Economic development and future growth planning

The FY 2027 Capital Improvement Program includes approximately $220 million in planned investments, supporting projects such as the redevelopment of Hotel Del Sol, expansion of the Desert Dunes Water Reclamation Facility, East Mesa Park improvements, and major pavement replacement efforts.

While the City continues to invest in the community, the budget also reflects a measured approach to ongoing challenges, including inflation, rising construction costs, and constraints related to Arizona’s Expenditure Limitation.

Overall, the FY 2027 budget positions the City to deliver reliable services, invest in critical infrastructure, and support a growing community—while honoring the past and preparing for the future.
