2026 AD VALOREM PUBLIC HEARING

The Sunnyside City Council will hold a public hearing on October 27, 2025, at 6:00 PM, to consider revenue sources for the 2026 budget, particularly potential increases in property tax revenues. The session will include the reading of an ordinance that determines the amount to be raised by ad valorem taxes to finance municipal operations for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026. City Clerk Jacqueline Renteria stated that arrangements for accommodations will be made upon request, emphasizing inclusivity in the decision-making process. The council is expected to take action on these financial matters during a meeting on November 10, 2025. Public participation in this hearing is vital, as it allows residents to engage with budgetary decisions that impact local services and infrastructure.

The budget discussions come at a time when local governments are increasingly scrutinizing revenue sources to meet community needs. This public hearing underscores Sunnyside's commitment to fiscal responsibility and community involvement. The outcome of these discussions will shape the city's financial landscape for the upcoming year.
