Jacksonville Mayor Donna Deegan presented the proposed 2026-2027 budget to the City Council Monday morning.
She called the $2B budget “balanced”, drawing no money from the reserves. She said the budget invests in public safety, infrastructure, health, housing, homelessness and economic development.
