Budget Workshop March 03, 2026

The Glendale, Arizona City Council held a budget workshop on March 3, 2026, focused primarily on reviewing the 10-year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) for fiscal years 2027 through 2036. The session included detailed presentations on various CIP projects across multiple sectors such as water, wastewater, streets, solid waste, and public safety. Key procurement-related discussions involved funding sources for these projects, including enterprise funds, bonds, grants, and development impact fees, with a total CIP budget of approximately $2.8 billion. Specific projects highlighted included water infrastructure rehabilitation, street reconstruction, and public safety facility upgrades. Council members discussed project timelines, funding carryovers, and the need for voter authorization for bond-funded projects. A notable procurement discussion centered on a proposed new public safety shooting range project, with council members debating its priority, funding approach, and timing relative to other public safety projects. No formal votes were taken during this workshop, as it was a study session to gather input and plan for future budget adoption meetings.
