Funds in Focus: City of Loveland thanks residents for attending, publishes questions and answers online

The City of Loveland welcomed community members to its Funds in Focus budget information community event, on July 10, drawing strong participation both online and in person. A total of 167 people registered to attend virtually, with 79 joining live on Zoom. Another 29 attendees participated in person at Council Chambers.

The session gave residents an opportunity to learn about the City's budgeting process, priorities for 2026, and the factors that influence funding decisions. A highlight of the evening was a robust question-and-answer session where residents submitted questions about how city funds are allocated and managed.

City staff addressed many of these questions during the event and have since compiled all questions and responses into an online resource. Residents can view the results at https://www.letstalkloveland.org/29578/widgets/102467/documents/70696.

For those who missed the event, a recording and additional budget-related materials are also available at the same link.

“This event shows that our residents are highly engaged in our local government, and they want to know how services are funded and the considerations that go into building the annual budget,” said Chief Financial Officer Brian Waldes. “Thanks to everyone who gave us their evening to take an interest and ask questions.”
