Continue Best Management Practices, Fiscal Excellence, and Fiscal Transparency is an adopted City Council Priority contained in the adopted Fiscal Year 2025-2027 City Council Priority Workplan, effective April 7, 2025.
BACKGROUND
Given that the local government budget process is highly complex, the development and preparation of the City’s budget follow a budget planning calendar to ensure structure and order in the development, approval, and adoption of the city budget pursuant to the City Manager’s budget authority under Section 2.04.220 of San Pablo Municipal Code (SPMC) requirements.
The budget planning calendar is a schedule of the dates by which budget information must be submitted by department managers. The calendar also contains the dates of budget meetings, such as initial planning meetings with the departments, subsequent review meetings with the City Manager’s office and budget presentation for both the Budget, Fiscal, and Legislative Standing Committee (BFLSC) and City Council. The attached calendar was reviewed by the BFLSC including Vice Mayor Elizabeth Pabon-Alvarado, and City Council Member Patricia Ponce on September 29, 2025.
The proposed Budget Calendar is subject to change by the City Manager.
FISCAL IMPACT
