Starting Wednesday, Mayor Richard Bissen and his administration will host community budget meetings throughout Maui County for residents to share their priorities and provide input on the budget for Fiscal Year 2028, which begins July 1, 2027.

“County services, programs and projects touch our residents’ lives every day, which is why hearing from the community is so important,” said Mayor Bissen. “As departments prepare next year’s budget, residents’ needs and input on priorities help guide the process. I encourage everyone to attend a budget meeting or share feedback online—your participation helps to ensure the voices of our community are represented.”

Written and verbal comments will be accepted at the meetings.

Budget requests also can be submitted by using a Budget Request Form, which is available on the County of Maui website at https://www.mauicounty.gov/budget.

Residents unable to attend the meetings in person can view the meetings on the County of Maui Facebook page.
