Planning for FY 2027-28 Proposed Budget and 2028-2037 CIP
The preparation of Chandler’s budget is a collaborative effort between the City Council, City Manager, City Staff, and the residents of Chandler.
Scheduled Public Meetings
The Chandler City Council will hold a series of public meetings, beginning in October 2026, to discuss and develop the city’s 2027-28 budget, which begins July 1, 2027. The meetings include presentations and discussions about the proposed operating and capital budgets, as well as the timing of projects in the city’s 10-year Capital Improvement Program. Each meeting will include opportunities for the public to listen and provide comments on the proposed city budget as detailed in the budget timeline.
On October 12, 2026, a meeting was held where the Mayor and City Council reviewed the Strategic Framework, Capital Improvement Project Guidelines, and Financial Policies while considering the significant budgetary impacts for the upcoming fiscal year. The City Council then provided direction in the form of General Fund priorities that will serve as a foundation for recommendations to be brought forward in subsequent budget planning meetings for discussion and approval.
