Budget and Finance Committee announces public hearings on Fiscal Year 2027 Comprehensive Budget

WINDOW ROCK, Ariz. — The Budget and Finance Committee (BFC) is inviting the public to attend a series of hearings on the Fiscal Year 2027 Comprehensive Budget.

Six public hearings are scheduled throughout June and July at chapter houses and community facilities across the Navajo Nation. All hearings will begin at 10 a.m. local time and will be livestreamed via Zoom to accommodate community members who are unable to attend in person. The Zoom information will be posted on the 25th Navajo Nation Council's website under the meetings/agenda tab.

The hearings provide an opportunity for community members to share input, ask questions, and help shape budget priorities that affect programs, services, and government operations across the Navajo Nation. Public testimony and hearing transcripts will be compiled and included in the FY2027 Comprehensive Budget Report submitted to the Navajo Nation Council.

The public hearing schedule is as follows:

• June 5, 2026 — San Juan Chapter, Navajo Route 36, Mile Marker 12, Lower Waterflow, N.M

Community members wishing to provide verbal testimony must complete a Request to Speak form during registration. Public testimony will be limited to five minutes per speaker. Priority will be given to in-person attendees, followed by online participants.

Participants joining via Zoom must complete the same registration process and will be assigned a speaker number. Phone numbers and email addresses will be collected to identify and label Zoom participants. Written comments may also be submitted to Shural Notah at [email protected] or Tatyana Billy at [email protected].

The FY2027 Comprehensive Budget establishes appropriations and expenditures for the Navajo Nation government programs, departments, and services. The BFC is responsible for reviewing, drafting, and recommending the annual budget to the 25th Navajo Nation Council for final consideration and approval.

All testimony received during the hearing series will be transcribed, compiled, and included as part of the official FY2027 Comprehensive Budget Report.
