City finance staff presented the proposed FY 2025–26 budget as totaling $1,600,000,000 across all funds, with a general fund portion of $615,000,000. Sylvia Delap, the presenting staff member, said the proposal represents a 0.01% decrease in the total budget compared with the prior year and a 6.6% increase in the general fund. \"The fiscal year 2526 proposed budget totals $1,600,000,000 and that includes all funds. The general fund portion totals $615,000,000,\" Delap said.

Delap said staff used the council's strategic framework, maintained the city's financial policies, and balanced ongoing expenditures with ongoing revenues. The proposed 10-year capital improvement program (CIP) presented to council totaled $2,600,000,000; in the special-meeting motion the amount adopted for the 2026–2035 CIP was recorded as $2,617,730,721. The staff presentation also referenced a proposed $44,600,000 property tax levy based on a limited property valuation of $4,120,000,000 and noted the city's combined property tax rate would decline slightly from $1.00826 to $1.00818 per $100 of assessed valuation.

Delap said the budget includes funding for labor commitments and merit adjustments, maintains the full funding status of the PSPRS obligation, and keeps strong reserves. She also noted planned utility rate changes (water, wastewater and solid waste) will be presented beginning in July and that the city is preparing a bond election for November 2025 to support capital projects.

After the public hearing, the council met in a special session and adopted Resolution No. 5906 (adopting the FY 2025–26 annual budget, setting amounts to be raised by direct property taxation, and adopting the 2026–2035 CIP) by unanimous vote. The motion to adopt was made by Council member Harris and seconded by Council member Poston; Vice Mayor Ellis and all other members voted in favor. The final adoption of the property tax levies and Ordinance No. 5130 is scheduled for June 26.

The city manager thanked council and staff for a smooth process, and councilmembers used the time to announce community events tied to parks, Juneteenth and local ribbon-cuttings. No substantive changes to the budget were made at the special meeting; the action records the city's formal adoption of the FY 2025–26 budget and the accompanying CIP.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Chandler City Council Meeting 6/12/2025","oneSentenceSummary","Council held a public hearing and adopted Resolution No. 5906 to approve the FY 2025-26 budget and the 2026–2035 capital improvement program; the action passed unanimously in a special meeting.

A resident, Juliet Spence, told the council she lives in Pueblo Viejo and warned the project would accelerate gentrification: \"We're gonna lose the vibe with gentrification of Pueblo Viejo if we continue to allow 2 story or larger duplexes in, of all places, Pueblo Viejo.\" The comment came during the consent-agenda period and prompted councilmembers to remove the item for separate consideration.

Planning staff described the application as a request for two limited deviations from the city's current zoning code: a reduction of the front-yard setback from 25 feet to 20 feet and an increase in maximum lot coverage from 45% to 50%. Staff said all other aspects of the proposal, including height, are consistent with existing code. Staff also warned the council that a recently enacted state middle-housing law will require broader allowances later this year for two- to four-unit housing in and around downtown.

Staff told the council the duplex is two stories and that \"it's at 28, 28 and a half feet tall\"; the underlying MF-2 zoning in the area allows heights up to 45 feet by right. Planning staff explained that modest reductions to floor-to-ceiling heights and roof pitch could lower total building height by at most about 18 inches, but would not meaningfully change the elevation of second-floor windows that neighbors cited as the primary privacy concern.

Council member Ann Harris moved to table the item for 30 days to a date certain, and the motion carried unanimously; staff and council said they will return the item to council on July 17. Before the tabling motion, council voted to remove the item from the consent agenda and consider it as an action item so councilmembers could question staff and hear public concerns.

Council and staff noted that neighborhood notification had occurred and that letters of opposition were on file. Staff said they would reach out to the resident who spoke to ensure the record is complete and to provide follow-up information about the application and the upcoming state law changes.

The tabling vote leaves the project unresolved; no permit or final approval was granted. The item will return to council on the date certain for additional discussion and possible action.","Council moved item 9 (a duplex on California Street) from the consent agenda to action after resident concerns about neighborhood character and privacy; council later voted to table the item for 30 days to a date certain (July 17) for further review and staff follow-up.","actionData","errors"]
