The city of Chandler is on track to have a slightly smaller budget next fiscal year than this year, but there remain challenges and unknowns in the coming years regarding city finances, staff said.
The city’s April 26 day-long budget briefing revealed much of the one-time infusions of state and mostly federal dollars in response to the COVID-19 pandemic have run their course. While those allowed Chandler to maintain nearly all levels of service and still tackle some large projects and tasks, the city must now find new ways to continually fund new positions and programs.
There are some heavy price tags connected with some major infrastructure projects as well.
