Council submits $4.75 million FY2027 budget proposal, increases youth employment funding
Summary
The Finance Committee reviewed the council-submitted FY2027 budget totaling $4,747,314; the council increased its contribution to the summer youth employment program by $25,000 (to $125,000) and reduced the council contingency to $225,000 to cover that increase.
The chair summarized the council-submitted FY2027 budget, reporting a total submission of $4,747,314. He noted that the council previously approved increasing the summer youth employment contribution by $25,000 (from $100,000 to $125,000) and that the council contingency was reduced by the same amount to $225,000 to account for the change.
The chair listed standing grants included in the submission: summer youth employment ($125,000), National Night Out ($2,500) and Wilmington JCs parade ($2,500). He said most other increases were attributable to salary and employee benefit lines and that tentative schedules had been sent to the administration for review.
Council staff and the chair said they would coordinate with the city to avoid scheduling conflicts and would keep members apprised of any further changes.
