Gardner MA Budget is Served – City Council to Review
The Gardner City Council will meet Monday, May 19, 2025 to review the Fiscal Year 2026 Budget. The year begins on July 1, 2025. Prior to the regular meeting, the City Council will meet informally (see agenda and packet, CLICK HERE), to hear a presentation of the School Budget. The Regular meeting agenda and packet includes the Municipal Budget, Enterprise Funds etc. (Agenda and packet, CLICK HERE)
Unlike the sugar-coated raspberry dollar sign in our graphic, the budget served is presented in a very clear format anyone can understand. If you have questions such as: What did we spend before? How much has an item increased? Is there anything new? View the documents and your questions will be answered. Gardner Magazine will present the AUDIO of both meetings once they are held. While the meeting agenda includes the order for both budgets, past practice is to refer the budget to various subcommittees for further detailed review prior to approval.
During the regular meeting, State Representative Jonathan Zlotnik is expected to make a guest appearance to give a State Budget update.
