Commission continues review of Community Services budget, asks for prior‑year comparisons
Loading...
Summary
Staff previewed FY27 Community Services division requests and told the commission the net department cost is roughly $3.6 million; commissioners asked for comparative data and more detailed packet numbers and voted to continue the item to May.
Staff presented a preliminary preview of the Community Services Department FY27 requests and said the full packet will be provided at a later meeting. The presentation listed division requests including a $300,000 community center estimate, $100,000 for sports, $273,995 for aquatics, $397,640 for special events and $128,473 for senior services. Staff also noted performing arts center requests pending council discussion.
"The net cost for the community services department at the budget meeting was $4,000,000, but that was rounded to the nearest whole number. The number is actually 3,600,000," staff told commissioners.
Commissioners asked staff to provide prior-year comparisons, a percentage of the municipal budget allocated to community services over time, and clearer revenue numbers. Because the FY27 figures were not yet finalized in the packet, the commission voted to continue the budget review to the next meeting so staff can provide more detail.
