FY2021-23 Adopted Budget

Per the Irvine Municipal Code and Financial Policies, the City Manager must present a balanced budget to the City Council before July 1. The City has a two-year budget, which is developed in the context of a comprehensive five-year financial plan. The budget is both a policy document, setting strategic priorities and goals, and a financial document that dedicates resources to various programs and services based on the established priorities.

The City of Irvine’s budget development is a comprehensive, transparent, and participatory process that starts in January with a presentation of preliminary financials to the Irvine Finance Commission and the City Council. In the following months, various budget information is presented to other City commissions, with meetings with the general public planned for March.

Below are details on the past and upcoming budget meetings.
