Brentwood commission reviews FY27 budget, $167 million CIP and 4% pay plan
Summary
Brentwood commissioners discussed the proposed FY27 appropriation ordinance, a 5‑year capital improvements program of 68 projects (~$167 million), a recommended 4% market pay adjustment and a proposed $244,400 education allocation to be distributed to local schools.
The Brentwood City Commission on the second reading of the FY27 appropriation ordinance heard presentations from city staff on the proposed budget, a five‑year capital improvements program and a recommended 4% market adjustment for the city’s pay plan.
City staff said the proposed general fund appropriation increase of $12,480,000 would leave a projected minimum fund balance of about $60,400,000 at the end of June, well above the commission’s reserve target. “The proposed general fund appropriation increase, of $12,480,000 from last year's revenues will leave a minimum projected fund balance, at the end of June this year of approximately 60,400,000,” the Chair stated.
The commission was presented with the five‑year Capital Improvements Program (CIP), which staff described as including 68 projects totaling approximately $167,000,000, mostly focused on transportation and utility projects. Staff noted the CIP document is available on the city’s website for more detail.
Commissioners discussed the classification and pay plan, which staff framed as a citywide adoption of a 4% market adjustment across pay grades, with the city manager (Jason Mudd) included in that adjustment. One commissioner said the city manager “would get the 4% general adjustment … without us having to take specific action,” and commissioners agreed to make a formal statement about compensation at the budget meeting.
On education funding, staff reported a proposed line item of $244,400 to support local schools; commissioners discussed motions to allocate that amount among the district’s schools and requested that staff provide recommended wording for the motion. A formal allocation motion and vote were not recorded in the transcript.
Several nonroutine work items and reconciliations of purchases exceeding $25,000 were presented for commission review, along with grant amendments and contract items (see actions summary). Staff said state law requires the commission to approve cumulative or sole‑source purchases exceeding $25,000.
The commission did not take final recorded votes in the transcript on the appropriation or individual allocations during the portion captured here; staff indicated motions and specific wording would be circulated for action in the regular adoption process.
The commission is expected to consider formal motions and adoption language at upcoming agenda items to finalize budget allocations and the pay plan.
