Budget Update
Mayor Bowser will be unveiling her budget proposal to the Council on Wednesday, April 3rd, at the Wilson Building in Room 500. The Council will host a Committee of the Whole budget briefing and oversight hearing with the mayor, budget director, and CFO on the same day, deviating from the typical two-day gap.
Here are some key dates to remember:
- April 4 – May 2: Budget oversight hearings are scheduled to take place during this period.
- May 3: The Committee of the Whole will convene for a dedicated budget hearing.
- May 8-10: Committee markups on the budget are scheduled for these dates.
- May 15: A Council work session focusing on the budget will be held.
- May 29: The first budget vote will take place.
- June 12: The second budget vote is scheduled for this date.
For more information on scheduled budget hearings, please visit the DC Council Budget Timeline and Oversight Hearing Schedule.
We encourage your participation and engagement throughout this process. Your input is invaluable as we work towards a budget that serves the human service needs of our community effectively.
Thank you for your attention, and we look forward to your involvement in this important endeavor. We’ll keep you up to date with budget news.
