2024 Budget

BUDGET PROCESS

The City of Roeland Park is working on its Fiscal Year 2024-2026 Budget. Each year, staff work with the Governing Body to develop the following year’s budget along with two additional years of projections. This longer-term planning process helps guide the Council’s decision-making when it comes to planning for capital improvements and equipment replacement, staffing adjustments, program improvements, and more. Below is a preliminary schedule of budget meetings and benchmarks for adopting the FY 2024 Budget. All meetings are open to the public and held in a hybrid fashion.
