Draft FY27 budgets show material shortfall; board schedules April work session and April 19 vote

Mar 24, 2026

The board reviewed drafts for funds 07/15, 07/16 and 07/17 and heard scenarios that leave a projected shortfall between approximately $150,000–$381,000 depending on whether SROA contract revenues are included; board set April 2 work session and April 19 final vote deadlines.

Board members and staff spent the largest portion of the March 19 meeting reviewing FY27 draft budgets for three funds: operations (07/15), equipment reserve (07/16) and building fund (07/17). Administrator Holliday presented two 07/15 scenarios — one that includes current SROA contract payments and bike-patrol projections and one that omits them — with materially different deficit outcomes.
