Bogalusa, LA - The City of Bogalusa has released its proposed operating budget for the 2025 fiscal year, outlining the administration's financial blueprint to support the city's core functions, including the general fund and special revenue funds.
The budget was publicly advertised and introduced after a finance meeting on November 26, 2024. However, during the City Council Meeting on December 3, 2024, the motion to adopt the budget did not pass unanimously. Councilman Irvine noted that the council has until June 30, 2025 to pass the operating budget and emphasized the need for transparency to ensure the city is not operating at a deficit.
The proposed budget is available here. Residents are encouraged to review the document and participate in upcoming public hearings to provide input and stay informed about the city's financial planning for the upcoming year.
