Optimistic financial forecast tempered by economic uncertainty.
Milpitas City Manager Ned Thomas recently released the proposed budget for fiscal year 2024-25 in the amount of $248.4 million. The proposed budget is available for public review at https://www.milpitas.gov/DocumentCenter/View/5915/FINAL-Proposed-Operating-Budget_2024-2025_04242024-compressed. The city council was expected to discuss the document at a May 14 study session.
“The proposed budget is balanced and maintains the city’s financial reserves in accordance with council-approved policies,” reads a release from the city, adding that it “reflects optimism in the city’s financial future but also wariness of near-term economic uncertainty.”
