City of Loveland’s Post

Earlier this year the City of Brighton Budget & Performance Team brainstormed goals for the 2025-2026 budget process. Top in that discussion was a desire to better educate and engage residents to demistify the process and how their tax dollars are used. I am proud to say that today we launched a new video about how the City's budget works, on Saturday we will be engaging residents at Brighton Summerfest, and next week we will be launching a resident survey. These are first of what we hope to be many steps toward building public trust through our budget process. #localgovernment #localgov #publicengagement #publictrust https://lnkd.in/gubh8Z6m

Yesterday, the Mayor used the new ‘Strong Mayor Powers’ to release his version of the Multi-Year Budget. The Mayor’s budget takes into consideration the Business Cases and draft Multi-Year Budgets released on December 12, 2023 - with a selection of cases fully funded, partially funded, or removed. Since this is a new process for everyone, we have laid out a timeline of what to expect going forward. Don’t worry, your voice still matters! You still have time to write to your councillor and tell them what changes you want to see to the Mayor’s budget. You can also participate in the February 27th Public Participation Meeting.
