Heyburn considers utility rate increases and employee cost projections for FY 2026–27
Summary
At the May 13 workshop, staff reviewed proposed utility rate increases and projected employee wage and insurance costs as significant drivers of the FY 2026–27 budget, and discussed interfund transfers as a potential balancing mechanism.
During the May 13 special budget workshop, City Clerk Ashlee Langley identified proposed utility rate increases and employee wage and insurance projections as primary factors shaping next year’s budget. Langley presented these items in the context of revenue forecasts and the city’s debt and reserve obligations.
