One of the most important and challenging responsibilities of the City Council is to balance the City budget while maintaining the quality of life Kirkland citizens enjoy.

Please see the agenda items below regarding the budget. City Council agendas are posted on the City’s website on the Friday before the regular meeting date. You can also sign up to receive a City Council Agenda E-Bulletin notice when an agenda has been posted to the web.

You are encouraged to address the City Council at any of its meetings regarding your concerns and questions about the budget. All public comments received via e-mail or direct mail are shared with the full Council.
