Mayor’s memo City Council sets preliminary 2026 levy

Authored on
Widgets

By Mayor Tim Busse

Every year, the City Council approves a budget that funds the services we all rely on—from public safety to public works and parks and recreation. Like many communities, we’re feeling some pressures: funding sources that are expiring, rising costs and aging infrastructure. To address these challenges, Bloomington is trying something new this year called priority-based budgeting. It helps us take a hard look at our City programs, focus on what the community values most and make some smart, sustainable decisions for the future.

We’ve heard in the past that residents want to be involved earlier in the budget conversation. In August, the Council held a study session to dive into the 2026 budget. At that meeting, we set aside time on the agenda specifically for public comment. If you weren’t able to make the meeting, you can share your thoughts online at blm.mn/budgetfeedback. The preliminary budget and levy will be set on September 8. We’ll continue to refine things through the fall, and the final budget will be adopted on December 22. The City’s website has a wealth of information. Learn more at blm.mn/budget.
