Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Pelham public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Fiscal Year 2027 budget adoption
The council was scheduled to go line-by-line through next year's budget for nearly every city service — trash, water/sewer, public works, the library, the ice arena, golf and racquet clubs, and parks. These are the services residents pay for through fees and taxes, so the review shapes next year's rates and offerings.
State Legislation Impact on City Budget
Pelham officials are pushing back on a state bill that could cost the city $750,000, which is a real budget hole. That kind of money means fewer resources for city services residents rely on.
