Chandler budget hearing set for Thursday

Posted

Thursday, May 25, the Chandler City Council will take action on the city’s tentative 2023-24 budget and the 2024-33 Capital Improvement Program, which is effective July 1.

During the meeting, residents will have an opportunity to comment on the proposed city budget.

The meeting will be open to all and can also be viewed live on Cox Cable 11 or streamed through the city’s website, chandleraz.gov/video or YouTube.com/cityofchandler.

At its June 15 meeting, the council will conduct a public hearing on the 2023-24 budget, 2024-33 CIP and property tax levy, followed by the action on the 2023-24 budget and 2024-33 CIP. Council’s vote on the adoption of the property tax levy will be on June 29. 

All three Council Meetings start at 6 p.m. and will be held in the City Council Chambers, 88 E. Chicago St.

Many of the services provided to Chandler residents are financed through the general fund, including police and fire services, libraries and maintenance of city streets, parks and other infrastructure. General fund revenues largely come from local city sales tax and state-shared revenues. 

Other services are financed through separate self-supporting utility funds, which include water, wastewater, airport and solid waste services, plus other special revenue and capital project funds.

The proposed budget is available for review online and in hard-copy form at the Downtown Chandler Library, 22 S. Delaware St., and the City Clerk’s Office, 175 S. Arizona Ave.

As part of the budget development process, the city’s budget office conducted an online survey of residents, November through mid-January, and presented the results to the Mayor and the members of the City Council for their consideration.
