Council approves preliminary FY2027 budget resolution for advertising; called "worst-case" notice
Summary
Finance Director Jason Faulkner presented a preliminary fiscal year 2027 budget resolution described as a "worst case scenario" for advertising the maximum allowable tax/levy; council approved the resolution to begin required public notice without binding final tax decisions.
Jason Faulkner, the city's finance director, told the council the resolution on the dais was intended solely to start the required advertising process and to present what he called a "worst case scenario" for property taxes and expenditures. He emphasized the advertisement does not bind the council to levy the maximum amount and staff will continue budget adjustments after the ad process begins.
A council member asked for confirmation that the advertisement must list the highest possible amount the city might levy; Faulkner confirmed that is the procedure and described the role of county review in ensuring advertised amounts exceed actual levies filed with the county. After brief clarification and no further debate, a motion to approve the preliminary FY2027 budget resolution and to direct the clerk to assign the appropriate number passed on a roll-call vote.
