Mayor Malik D. Evans initiated the City of Rochester’s 2025-26 fiscal year budget planning process today, highlighting opportunities for public input through an online survey, a telephone town hall meeting, and pop-up tables at various community events this fall.
The Mayor and the Office of Management & Budget are providing these opportunities early in the budget preparation process to ensure that public input effectively informs budget decisions.
