Salem Budget, Convention Center Funds on June 22 Agendas; Minutes Pending
The Salem City Council was scheduled to consider adopting the city’s fiscal year 2027 budget and a five-year capital improvement plan during its June 22 meeting, the most financially consequential item on a day that also included a $520,000 marketing addendum for the Salem Convention Center on the Urban Renewal Agency’s agenda. All three public bodies that met that day—the City Council, the Urban Renewal Agency, and the Housing Authority Commission—released meeting agendas, but official minutes had not been published by press time.
City Council
The council’s agenda included a vote on Resolution 2026-31 to adopt the FY2027 budget. Also listed was adoption of the Capital Improvement Plan for FY2027-2031, an application for a FEMA Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities grant to replace the Geren Island Water Treatment Facility bridge, an extension of the Lien Forgiveness Program to June 30, 2027, and an award of the city auditing contract to REDW, LLC. No vote tallies were available.
Urban Renewal Agency
The Urban Renewal Agency was slated to adopt its FY 2027 budget via Resolution 26-07 URA. The agency also was set to authorize a $520,000 marketing addendum for the Salem Convention Center in fiscal year 2027, funded by transient occupancy tax revenues. The agenda further included appointment and reappointment of members to the West Salem Redevelopment Advisory Board and an information-only report on administratively approved purchases in May 2026.
Housing Authority Commission
The Housing Authority Commission of Salem was scheduled to consider a motion to evaluate the Salem First Keys Fund as an alternative to below-market disposition of SHA properties, though the agenda noted no action was expected at the meeting. Commissioners were also to hear a June 2026 program management report and vote on approving draft meeting minutes from May 26, 2026.
Coming up
No meetings of the City Council, Urban Renewal Agency, or Housing Authority Commission were listed for the following two weeks as of July 5.
