Chamblee holds second budget hearing; staff presents flat $35.9 million general fund proposal
Summary
City staff presented the second of three public budget hearings, outlining a proposed flat general fund of $35,900,000, a projected millage rate of 6.25, capital projects funded by a recent $30 million bond and planned fee increases for sanitation.
City of Chamblee staff presented the second of three public hearings on the proposed 2026 budget, describing a package that keeps the general fund flat at $35,900,000 and projects a millage rate of 6.25 to be adopted in June 2026.
"The result of that is a flat general fund budget at $35,900,000," said Daria Kryskis, the city's budget and strategy manager. Kryskis told the council the budget framework is a response to slowing revenue growth and inflationary pressures, and that departments were asked to identify strategic reductions during development.
The presentation also highlighted capital and special-revenue changes tied to a $30,000,000 bond issued this year and multiple ongoing projects. Staff flagged increases in health benefit costs (mitigated by a carrier change), investments in renewable energy infrastructure and debt service for previously authorized projects. No formal votes were taken at the hearing; the mayor moved to adjourn after public comment closed.
