Community Invited to 2025-2026 Biennial Budget 'Balancing Act' Workshops

TACOMA, Wash. - This month, community members are invited to join the City of Tacoma at two virtual workshops to learn more about the biennial budget development process and the many ways community members can get involved to help inform what the City of Tacoma's 2025-2026 Biennial Budget will look like.

At each workshop, the Office of Management and Budget will walk through the interactive budget tool - "Balancing Act" - to break down the 2025-2026 baseline General Fund budget by priority and answer questions. Submissions and feedback will be shared with the City Manager to guide the development of the 2025-2026 Proposed Budget.

Access details for these virtual events are as follows:

Monday, July 22, 2024, from 5:30-6:30 PM
Monday, July 29, 2024, from 12:30-1:30 PM

• One-Click Access for Both Events
• Community members can also follow this event by phone at (253) 215-8782 (event ID: 892 4297 1226 / passcode: 984575)

The "Balancing Act" tool allows community members to play with budget scenarios by making increases or decreases to service levels as they try to balance the City's General Fund budget. Details on the City of Tacoma's 2025-2026 Biennial Budget Development Process are available at cityoftacoma.org/budgetdevelopment.
