Council Adopts Balanced Budget
The City of Irvine recently received two prestigious awards recognizing its Fiscal Year 2025–27 Budget and its commitment to fiscal transparency, accountability, and responsible stewardship of public resources.
The budget is balanced without reducing programs or services, eliminating positions, or increasing taxes. Backed by more than $130 million in reserves, the budget reflects Irvine’s longstanding commitment to responsible financial management.
To ensure the City’s financial strength continues into the future while maintaining a balanced budget, two modest adjustments have been included for the coming fiscal year. The City will not expand its vehicle fleet, and non-essential vacant positions will remain unfilled.

Irvine Ranked Third Best City in America to Raise a Family
The financial services company WalletHub has released its Best Places to Raise a Family in 2026 list and Irvine is ranked third-best in America. (Actually, we believe that our city is the very best place to raise a family!)
The report compared more than 180 U.S. cities using 45 key metrics across five factors — including family fun, health and safety, education and child care, affordability, and socioeconomic factors.
Irvine’s abundance of family-friendly activities, world-class medical facilities, quality of education and childcare programs, low crime rate, low divorce rate, high-paying jobs, outstanding parks and trails, and thriving community programs were among the many reasons for the City’s third-best ranking.
Construction Officially Underway for the Flying Leatherneck Aviation Museum
Earlier this month, the first truckload of steel was delivered for the future home of the Flying Leatherneck Aviation Museum at the Great Park. The delivery marked the beginning of construction for a world-class aviation museum, set to open in spring 2027.
Located on the land that housed the iconic El Toro Marine Corps Air Station for nearly six decades, it will be the only museum in America solely dedicated to Marine Corps aviation.
In addition to housing more than 50 restored aircraft, the aviation museum will feature a number of artifacts and interactive displays.
