City staff outlines FY 2026–27 budget timeline; city likely below levy threshold
Summary
City administrator Miss Powers told the council the FY 2026–27 budget will be introduced Aug. 18, with a public hearing on Sept. 1 and a final reading on Sept. 15; current indications are the city is below the property tax levy threshold that would require a joint county hearing.
Miss Powers presented the proposed FY 2026–27 schedule and key dates: introduction of the budget at the Aug. 18 meeting, a public hearing on Sept. 1, and the final reading on Sept. 15. She told the council the mayor's letter detailing the budget will be published in mid‑August and said, "the current indications are that we're below the property tax levy threshold" that would require attendance at a county joint public hearing.
Powers added the city currently does not anticipate using allowable levy exemptions for items such as public safety. The council was told the joint county public hearing date has not been scheduled but is typically mid‑ to late‑September; staff will return with the mayor's letter and budget documents in August.
