Dollars & Sense

It's no secret that our community relies on City services – from police and parks and recreation, to the library, public works, and community development; but growing budget constraints have limited our ability to provide these services at the level and quality our residents desire and deserve.

The creation of the new McMinnville Fire District will allow City funds that were formerly used for fire and emergency services to be reallocated to the General Fund. That’s why we’re seeking to identify resident’s top priorities and looking for ways the City may focus on improvements.

Here’s Where You Come In! Over the summer months, we will engage community members asking for your help to prioritize how to invest in City programs and services; rebuild financial capacity; and address years of deferred maintenance, lost revenue from the pandemic, inflation, service cuts, and layoffs.
