Influence Your City Budget: Raleigh City Council Budget Work Session – June 2, 2025

Have you ever wondered how your city decides how to spend your tax dollars? From public safety to parks, roads to recycling, every dollar is planned and prioritized—and it all starts with sessions like this one.

On Monday, June 2, 2025, from 4 to 5 p.m., the Raleigh City Council will hold a Budget Work Session at the Raleigh Municipal Building (222 W. Hargett St., Council Chamber). This session is an important step in the process of finalizing the city’s annual budget, and it’s open to the public.

What Is a Budget Work Session?

A budget work session is where council members meet to review, discuss, and fine-tune budget proposals from city departments. These sessions are less formal than regular meetings and are designed for detailed examination of spending plans. It’s also a time when council members ask questions, suggest adjustments, and consider feedback from residents and staff before adopting the final budget.

Why It Matters

City budgets affect every aspect of life in Raleigh—from how frequently your trash is picked up to how many officers patrol your neighborhood. Participating in or simply watching these sessions gives residents a closer look at how decisions are made—and how their voices can make a difference.
