One of the final opportunities to participate in The City's 2026-2027 Budget Engagement Process is June 3, 2025 at City Hall Council Chambers on the 3rd Floor. The main goal of budget engagement is to keep the community informed and engaged throughout the process. Getting involved is encouraged. *You can also send an email to Clerk of Council to send thanks and encourage Council's commitment to EPH projects (and maybe try to nudge Council for the Litter Vacuum Truck to be shared across the city that wasn't funded.).
Mayor Aftab and City Manager Long recommended almost everything the community asked for. A thank you from YOU would mean a lot to let them know that we see their support and it is appreciated. After dozens of hours of engagement and prep to communicate requests on behalf of the community after compiling YOUR feedback-- they said yes and then put dollars to it. EPHIA is just asking you to send them a thank you note.
