Pleasanton Kicks Off 2-Year Budget Talks This Week

PLEASANTON, CA — Pleasanton leaders are hitting the ground running in the first week of the new year by taking the first steps in charting the city's next two-year budget framework.

The process will get underway Thursday evening with a budget workshop laying out the process, addressing financial challenges, funding sources and anticipated needs for the next two fiscal years.

Following the workshop, the City Council will continue discussions at its regular meeting, focusing on key elements of the budget, community engagement and finding potential solutions to budgetary constraints.

Development and public engagement will continue through April, followed by a presentation of the proposed budget in May. Councilmembers and staffers will make further adjustments based on feedback before adopting the final budget sometime in June.

This week's budget workshop is scheduled to begin at 5:30 p.m. Thursday inside City Council chambers. Residents can attend the meeting or submit written comments online. The agenda and video of the workshop will be available on the city's website.
