Morgan Hill City Council is scheduled to meet for a budget workshop on Wednesday, May 20, 2026, at 6 p.m. in the City Council Chamber at 17555 Peak Ave., according to the city’s calendar. The city said the meeting will be held in person with a virtual attendance option through Zoom. The workshop comes as Morgan Hill prepares its next biennial operating budget and capital improvement budget. City budget materials say budget deliberations begin after the city manager’s recommended biennial budget is presented to the council. ### When and where is the workshop? Wednesday, May 20, is the date listed for the City Council budget workshop on Morgan Hill’s official calendar and CivicClerk agenda portal. The city lists the start time as 6 p.m. and the location as the City Council Chamber Building at 17555 Peak Ave., Morgan Hill, CA 95037. (morganhill.ca.gov) The city’s calendar says residents can also join virtually through a Zoom link or by phone at 669-900-9128 using meeting ID 873 3200 8380. Morgan Hill says City Council meetings are conducted both in person and virtually, and are also livestreamed on the city’s website and Facebook page. (morganhill.ca.gov) ### What is the council expected to discuss? Morgan Hill’s Budget and Financials page says the biennial budget process starts with the City Council adopting priorities, goals and strategies at the beginning of the calendar year. The same page says operating departments then submit proposed enhancements, called decision packages, which are evaluated against available financial resources and council priorities. (morganhill.ca.gov) The city says the process produces a recommended budget for operations and capital improvements, followed by council deliberations, a public hearing and adoption in June. The May 20 workshop is listed as one of the city’s community engagement opportunities tied to development of the next two-year budget. (morganhill.ca.gov) ### Which budget cycle is this workshop part of? The city’s finance page identifies the current budget package under development as the Recommended Operating Budget for fiscal years 2026-27 and 2027-28, along with recommended capital improvement budgets running through fiscal year 2031-32. The page says the city is beginning planning for its next two-year budget and is collecting public feedback on General Fund priorities. (morganhill.ca.gov) Morgan Hill also says its online “Balancing Act” budget simulation focuses only on the General Fund rather than the full city budget. The tool presents revenue options and possible service changes, including reductions, and invites residents to weigh tradeoffs and submit feedback. ### Who will be at the dais? (morganhill.ca.gov) Morgan Hill’s City Council page says the council has five elected officials: Mayor Mark Turner and council members Miriam Vega, Yvonne Martínez Beltrán, Soraida Iwanaga and Marilyn Librers, who serves as mayor pro tem. The city says the mayor is elected at large and the four council members are elected by district. (morganhill.ca.gov) The council typically meets on the first, third and fourth Wednesdays of each month at 6 p.m., according to the City Council Meeting Information page. The May 20 workshop falls on the third Wednesday of the month. ### Where can residents find the agenda and follow what happens next?
