Manager proposes 3% COLA, 2% performance fund; mayor suggests $150,000 skate park example
Summary
City Manager Jamie Booth said he will propose a 3% cost-of-living allowance and a 2% performance fund in the FY 2026–27 draft budget; Mayor Nina Rodenroth suggested a discretionary project example—a skate park—estimated at about $150,000.
City Manager Jamie Booth told the committee he is preparing the FY 2026–27 draft budget and plans to propose a 3% cost-of-living allowance (COLA) and a 2% performance fund. He said he is seeking cost savings and recommended establishing two funds: a non-discretionary fund for mandatory payments and a discretionary fund for refurbishments or projects.
Mayor Nina Rodenroth asked council members to submit concept proposals for discretionary funds, including the amount and potential grant opportunities, and cited a skate park as an example project, saying she "believes the price would be around $150,000.00." The discussion was advisory; no appropriations or final budget figures were adopted at the session.
