Budget Engagement: Help Form the 2027 Budget

District 19 residents can learn about Madison's budgeting process and contribute to its development. On June 2 we begin a series of three public information meetings, each focused on a segment of the budget. Attendees will learn more about the budget process and have an opportunity to provide feedback to policymakers on priorities. Like any municipality in Wisconsin, Madison has more needs than resources. Setting priorities is how we adhere to state mandates for a balanced budget that fits within the state constraints on taxes and spending.

Each session will focus on a particular policy area and start with an open house where you can speak directly with City staff about the services each agency provides to residents. The open-house portion of the meeting will be followed by a budget presentation from Finance Director Dave Schmiedicke and a Q&A with Alders.
