City officials used the 2025 State of the City address to outline fiscal priorities and a large near‑term infrastructure effort aimed at resurfacing and streetscape improvements.

City Manager Ash Feeney said the council adopted a balanced general fund budget for fiscal years 2025 and 2026, with projected revenues of $46,100,000 and projected expenditures of $44,600,000. Feeney told attendees that the city also launched an open data portal intended to publish budget documents, performance tracking and other public records to increase transparency.

On streets and paving, Feeney described a three‑year pavement strategy that increases road resurfacing from about 2 miles per year to roughly 52 lane miles per year. He cited resurfacing of Sunrise Boulevard from Greenback to Madison as a recent example and said Auburn Boulevard Complete Streets Phase 2 remains on schedule for completion in 2026.

"A budget is not just a financial plan. A budget is a statement of community priorities and values," Feeney said, framing the investments as a reflection of city priorities. Officials described the financial position as steady with reserves to provide resiliency and flexibility for future projects.

The address did not provide a line‑by‑line budget document in the event; officials pointed audiences to the new open data portal for detailed budget and performance figures.
