City staff presented year-end budget projections showing a projected fund balance of $8,636,044 and advised the Common Council that while the balance appears large, the city expects to need a portion of those funds for expenses in the next couple of years.
Staff noted that although the proposed budget is modestly higher than projected revenues for 2026, revenues from the prior year and other sources mean there is not a current shortage and funds are available.

Council members asked clarifying questions and acknowledged the explanation; no vote or directive to staff was recorded in the excerpt. The transcript did not specify revenue line items, reserves, or the assumptions underlying the projection.
