SUBJECT
Title
Recommend to City Council Adoption of Fiscal Year 2026-27 Recommended Budget
Report
BACKGROUND
The City of Sunnyvale's budget process alternates each year between Operating and Capital Improvement Projects Budget. This year, our focus is on the Operating Budget, allocating resources, personnel, goods and services; because this year is the second year of the Capital Improvement Projects Budget cycle, changes made to Capital Improvement Projects Budget are on an exception only basis. There were no changes made to the Housing Capital Improvement Projects budgets for FY 26-27.
