Planning staff presents preliminary FY2027 budget; requests $120,000 from county and city, $30,000 from Midway
Summary
Staff presented a preliminary FY2027 budget showing a projected carryover of about $99,377 and requested contributions split by the historical 4/4/1 ninths formula (county $120,000; city $120,000; Midway $30,000); staff said the figures are tentative and a final budget will be adopted later.
Planning staff presented the commission’s preliminary fiscal‑year 2027 budget, describing it as an authorization to request funding from the parent governments and noting several variables are not yet locked in.
"What this preliminary budget really does, it's our best guess at this point in time on what our carryover is, where our revenues will come in this year," staff member Steve said, adding that the planning commission will return with a final budget later in the process once healthcare quotes and more accurate revenue figures are known.
Staff said the projected carryover for the next fiscal year is about $99,377 — down from higher carryover amounts in previous years — and that the commission plans to request $120,000 from the county, $120,000 from the city, and $30,000 from Midway using the historical ninths split (4/4/1). Projected total revenues on the preliminary worksheet were roughly $402,650, but staff cautioned that building permit revenues and carryover numbers could change the totals before final adoption.
The preliminary budget authorizes staff to forward the request to the parent governments; a final budget will return to the commission for adoption after revenues and insurance quotes are known.
What it means
The commission is signaling it will seek roughly $270,000 combined in local contributions under the traditional allocation formula; the lower projected carryover tightens the preliminary budget compared with prior years and could affect programmatic choices if revenues fall short.
Next steps
Staff will refine revenue and carryover estimates over the next quarter, collect health‑insurance quotes, and present a final budget for commission adoption before the new fiscal year.
