The Arlington City Council took its first look Aug. 6 at the proposed $722 million Fiscal Year 2025 operating budget, which includes cost-saving measures to taxpayers while also fulfilling voter-approved amenities and shifting more funding toward public safety, street maintenance and community cleanliness.
Proposals for the upcoming fiscal year, which begins Oct. 1, includes a recommendation for a one-cent property tax rate adjustment and increases for residents’ water rate, the garbage collection rate and stormwater fee. The City Council will vote on the budget in September after a series of public meetings, including town halls scheduled for Aug. 14 and Aug. 26.
