The Week Ahead: May 6-10
Good evening, Melrose,
The City of Melrose budget process continues for FY 25 on Monday, May 6, with a joint meeting of the City Council and School Committee. During that meeting, Mayor Grigoraitis will deliver a budget address about her administration's overall budget priorities, the City’s FY 25 budget proposal, and a request to the City Council for an override (also known as a property tax increase) to be placed on the ballot for June 2024 to further fund the FY 25 budget for vital school and city services.
This meeting marks the first of many budget hearings scheduled as part of the collaborative budget process between the City Council, School Committee, and City staff. To view the budget hearing schedule and to learn more about the FY 25 budget process, visit www.cityofmelrose.org/fy25budget.
