From the transcript
These public hearings offer the opportunity to comment on our operating budget, which is funding for public services and programs, our capital budget, which is money to invest in infrastructure like streets, sidewalks, and vehicles, plus also the operating and capital budgets for our enterprise agencies and utilities, things like the port, our solid waste services, and our Community Development Authority, ACDA. So thank you to everyone who has come here tonight to testify on the budget and to those who have already testified or sent comments by email. As decision makers, we really value community input that we receive on the budget. We will also continue our budget public hearings to the November 17th meeting, uh, after which we will be closing the hearings at that meeting and debating amendments and then approving the FY27 budget. Uh, that is the schedule that we follow every year.
