Finance director: FY26 revenues finished above budget; city launches customer portal
Summary
The finance director reported FY26 revenues exceeded budget overall despite slight declines in business income tax and hotel tax; the city launched a customer self‑service billing portal and offers eCheck to avoid card fees.
The finance director provided the last finance report for fiscal year 2026, saying overall revenue exceeded the adopted budget while noting smaller declines in business income tax and hotel tax collections. The director said staff performed an 'auto visit' in May and will do a second in October as part of routine financial oversight.
A major operational update was the launch of a customer self‑service portal that allows residents to view bills and account history online; the city is offering an eCheck payment option without a service fee that the city will absorb. "It's live. We'll get a lot of use the next week when we send out the bill because we're sending out bills on Thursday," the finance director said.
