TITLE: Set Public Hearing Date to Adopt Fiscal Year 2025-2026 Budget
ABSTRACT:
Per Section 1102 of the City Charter, the city manager must submit the budget to the City
Council at least 35 days before the start of the fiscal year, which begins on July 1. After
reviewing the budget and making any revisions it deems advisable, the City Council shall
set a date for the public hearing and publish a notice in an official newspaper at least 10
days prior to the hearing. The Charter requires the City Council to adopt an annual budget
on or before June 30 of each year.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
a) Determine this action is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
pursuant to Sections 15060(c)(2) and 15060(c)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines because
this action will not result in a physical change to the environment, directly or indirectly;
and
b) Schedule a public hearing on the City of Newport Beach's Proposed Budget for Fiscal
Year 2025-2026 for June 10, 2025, and direct the City Clerk to publish a notice of said
hearing in accordance with Section 1102 of the Newport Beach Charter.
DISCUSSION:
The City Charter requires that the City Council adopt an annual budget each year on or
before June 30. Staff has provided the Council with copies of the preliminary budget
document, and it is available for public review on the City of Newport Beach's website at:
https://www.newportbeachca.gov/government/departments/finance/city-budget-salary
Staff recommends that the City Council set the date for the public hearing on the Fiscal
Year 2025-2026 budget for June 10, 2025. The public hearing will be noticed and held
during the regular Council meeting.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The Fiscal Year 2025-2026 proposed budget is balanced, but subject to change based
on the City Council's final recommended action.
