Fiscal Year 2026-2027 Budget

Investing in Our Community, Together

The City’s annual budget is more than just numbers—it’s a plan that reflects our community’s priorities and supports the services that matter most to residents, businesses, and visitors. From public safety and infrastructure to parks, recreation, and community programs, the budget helps ensure Brawley continues to grow and thrive.

Why It Matters to You

The City’s budget directly impacts your daily life. It determines:

  • The level of police and fire services in your neighborhood

  • The quality of streets, parks, and public spaces

  • Investments in water, wastewater, and infrastructure

  • Programs and services available to the community

How to Participate

We encourage all residents and stakeholders to stay informed and get involved in the budget process:

  • Attend budget workshops and public meetings

  • Review budget materials and presentations posted online

  • Provide input during public comment at meetings

  • Share feedback with City staff or elected officials

Community input plays a key role in shaping a balanced and inclusive budget. The City invites you to participate in upcoming public meetings for the Fiscal Year 2026/27 budget. Meeting dates are listed below, and budget materials will be available within each meeting description as they take place.

If you have questions or would like more information, please contact the Finance Department at sluna@brawley-ca.gov or (760) 344-8941.
