The Ann Arbor City Council will get its first look at the next proposed budget tonight.
The spending plan for the 2027 fiscal year will be presented by City Administrator Milton Dohoney Jr. during tonight’s council meeting. Details are rarely released prior to the actual presentation.
The city’s overall financial picture looks good.
Mayor Christopher Taylor says he expects a balanced budget that will serve the community well.
“At the same time, municipal financing in Michigan is always under pressure. We still have a system that is designed to disinvest in local government, and we suffer under that framework.”
The budget is expected to include 3% increases in stormwater and sewer rates, along with a 6% hike in water rates to help pay for reinvestments into the system.
The final vote in the budget is expected on May 18th.
