The Buckeye City Council approved the 21/22 Fiscal Year budget at their regularly scheduled meeting on July 6. 

Council adopted the approximately $392 million budget that focuses on solid, long-term financial planning to ensure residents continue receiving the quality services they expect now, and in the future. 

The strategy for this year’s budget is to use conservative revenue estimates, ensure the General Fund is balanced, maintain adequate funds in our reserves, provide for contingencies and continue investing in Buckeye’s future with new facilities and infrastructure. 

The Jackie A. Meck Water Campus remains the biggest capital project in the city’s history and is nearly 80-percent complete. Other infrastructure projects include improvement projects at the Buckeye Municipal Airport, expansion projects at Sundance Park, the Aquatic Center, the Senior Center kitchen and the Jackrabbit Trail Park and Ride. 

In addition, the Community Services Department is expanding several programs to meet the needs of our growing city.

• The Sundance Recreation Center is scheduled to open this September, and offer a variety of special interest classes and events, while also providing additional space to rent for meetings.
• Youth and adult sports programs are expanding into neighborhood parks so families can play closer to home.
• And our Before and After School program (BASE) will expand with the opening of two new elementary schools this Fall, John S. McCain III Elementary and Blue Horizons Elementary.

Buckeye will continue to stay on strong financial ground with a balanced budget and conservative revenue estimates, adequate funding reserves for contingencies, investing in our future, and ensuring our residents continue receiving the same great service and amenities they expect from us.
