The Chubbuck Development Authority (CDA) will hold a public hearing next month to formally consider its amended budget for fiscal year 2026, giving residents an opportunity to weigh in before the spending plan is adopted.
The hearing is scheduled for Tuesday, September 15, 2026, at 5:30 PM at Chubbuck City Hall, located at 290 East Linden Avenue in Chubbuck, Idaho. The CDA Board tentatively approved the proposed amended budget on August 28, 2026, with notice published on September 1 and September 8.
Budget Figures at a Glance
The proposed amended budget covers the fiscal year running from October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2026. Under the plan, tax revenues are projected at $630,000, with an additional $24,000 in other revenues. On the spending side, operational expenditures are budgeted at $113,948, while capital outlay is set at $674,243. The budget is structured so that the net effect on the fund balance comes to zero — meaning revenues and expenditures are expected to balance out over the fiscal year.
Capital outlay makes up the largest single line item, reflecting the CDA’s focus on long-term infrastructure and development investment within the urban renewal district. The authority, which operates as Chubbuck’s urban renewal agency, uses tax increment financing to fund improvements in designated development zones across the city.
How Residents Can Participate
Copies of the proposed amended budget are available for public review at Chubbuck City Hall during regular office hours, Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Residents who cannot attend the hearing in person may submit written comments by emailing CDA Executive Director Ashley Squyres at chubbuckura@gmail.com ahead of the September 15 meeting.
City Hall is accessible to individuals with disabilities. Those requiring accommodations should contact the City Clerk’s Office at least 48 hours before the hearing by calling (208) 237-2400.
The public hearing is a required step before the CDA Board can formally adopt the amended budget for the current fiscal year.
