    Minutes

    The City Council of Mesa held a study session on May 1, 2025, to hear a presentation and update on the Fiscal Year 2025/26 proposed budget, with six of seven council members present. The proposed budget includes the addition of two fire stations expected to reduce emergency response times, along with multiple generational improvement projects not undertaken for nearly 20 years, and continuation of programs funded through the American Rescue Plan Act during COVID. The budget faces significant financial pressures, including an estimated $20 million ongoing impact to the General Governmental Fund (equating to a $100 million loss over five years), a projected $7 million to $10 million loss from flat income tax, and $27 million to $30 million in ongoing costs from citywide benchmarks and step pay increases. The Utility Fund transfer to the General Fund is calculated at 30% per an ordinance adopted in 2020, with 83% of transfer funds allocated to Public Safety and 16.7% across all other General Fund departments.
