Wheaton City Council members meet at 6 p.m. Monday, Nov. 9, for a planning session built around the 2027 annual budget.
The session takes place in Council Chambers at Wheaton City Hall, 303 W. Wesley St. It is open in person and virtually, according to the posted agenda.
The lone discussion item is a 2027 Annual Budget Workshop Presentation. Three entities will present: the City of Wheaton, the Downtown Wheaton Association and the Wheaton Public Library. The agenda does not list specific dollar figures or revenue projections for the workshop.
The budget discussion follows the council's Oct. 26 planning session, which focused on the 2027–2031 Capital Improvement Plan, according to that session's agenda.
City Manager Raymond Munch has pointed to infrastructure investment as a priority. In the city's October 2026 newsletter, Munch said the city's infrastructure is aging. He noted that roads, bridges, water and sewer infrastructure, and public buildings "all require long-term investment."
"It will be important for us to establish a financial plan that minimizes the impact on our residents," Munch said in the newsletter.
Council members will also vote to approve minutes from the Oct. 26 planning session.
Residents who want to weigh in have three options. They can speak in person or virtually during the public comment portion of the meeting. Each speaker gets three minutes and may speak once, on agenda items only. Comments can also be emailed to [email protected] before 5 p.m. Monday.
The meeting will be live streamed and recorded. Virtual attendees can join by registering through Zoom or by calling 312-626-6799 with Meeting ID 814 0819 7601 and password 705696.
