Broken Arrow city officials have unveiled a proposed $455,957,612 budget for the upcoming fiscal year, a plan that’s smaller than last year’s despite rising operational costs.
Here’s how the budget breaks down and what it could mean for residents.
City Manager Michael Spurgeon says the proposed 2026 budget is about $16 million less than last year’s, even though operational costs are up roughly 10%.
City officials attribute the smaller total to a drop in bond-funded projects scheduled for the coming year.
The Broken Arrow City Council is set to vote on the proposed budget on June 16. Residents interested in providing feedback can attend public meetings or follow updates through the city’s website and social media channels.
While the budget proposal does not include a utility rate hike. It does include information from a five-year rate study.
Officials say that will be discussed "later this summer" as part of the annual review and adoption process for the city’s Manual of Fees.
