May is “budget month” for the City so this month’s Work Session is almost exclusively the budget. Be sure to read my separate blog post with my initial highlights & a link to the FY 2027 Budget, and don’t forget that a Special Budget Work Session occurred on May 4 which contains the first briefings from Department Heads.

See the City of Laurel’s meeting page for the official record, and if any agenda item holds interest for you, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me as your voice helps me shape legislation and decisions.

Watch live online via LaurelTV or the MyLaurel app, or on your TV via Comcast Channel 996 (HD)/ 71 (SD) or Verizon FiOS Channel 12. (Note: Work Sessions don’t generally have a Public Hearing component, but you can still send me your thoughts as they are always helpful as I approach the meeting.)
