The City of Cheyenne has released its proposed Fiscal Year 2025 budget and City Council will hold several budget-related meetings over the next month.

The $147.6 million budget covers all financial aspects of the City, including the general fund, permanent fund, fiduciary fund, special revenue funds, proprietary funds, and capital projects funds. The budget is structurally balanced and reflects a projected increase of $5.4 million in revenues compared to the current fiscal year.

“Our city departments shared their needs and challenges, and Treasurer Robin Lockman and her team have skillfully managed the process to present the budget before you today,” Mayor Patrick Collins said in his budget message. “I am thankful for their professionalism and dedication to the residents of Cheyenne.”

The proposed budget now goes to City Council, where it will be discussed at work sessions, Committee of the Whole meetings, and council meetings. A public hearing about the budget will be held at the June 10 council meeting. The meeting schedule is as follows:
