Planning for FY 2020-21 Proposed Budget and 2021-2030 CIP
The preparation of Chandler’s budget is a collaborative effort between the City Council, City Manager, City Staff and the citizens of Chandler.
The Fiscal Year 2020-21 Budget process is underway with the completion of the Citizen Budget Survey. As a part of the budget development process, the Budget Office conducted a survey of residents in October and November of 2019. This gave residents a chance to voice their opinions on various topics related to Quality of Life, Return on Tax Dollars, Citizen Satisfaction with Overall City Services and City Council Strategic Goals. The results have been compiled and were presented to Mayor and the members of City Council.
On December 12, 2019, a meeting was held where the Mayor and City Council reviewed the Strategic Goals & Objectives, 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.
The City has received its 2020 Net Assessed Value Detail Report from the Maricopa County Assessor. The report sets Chandler's Limited Property Value (used for calculating property tax) at $3,243,434,243. This is a 7.7% increase from the previous year.
A Council Budget Workshop was held on February 10, 2020 to provide financial information relative to the FY 2020-21 Budget.
Scheduled Public Meetings
The Chandler City Council will hold a series of public meetings beginning in December 2019 to discuss and formulate the City’s 2020-21 budget, which begins July 1, 2020. The meetings will include presentations and discussions about the proposed operating and capital budgets, including the timing of projects in the City’s 10-year Capital Improvement Program. Each meeting will include opportunities for the public to listen and/or provide comment on the proposed City budget.
