City documents show how proposed PSSSF increase would be allocated to police, fire and emergency management
Summary
Tentative budget materials break down how the proposed $1.87 million in new PSSSF revenue would be distributed across police, fire and emergency management to cover salary, benefit and operating costs.
Staff spreadsheets attached to the tentative budget show department-level changes tied to the proposed PSSSF increase. The Police Department’s proposed FY2026–27 budget is listed at $13,927,775 (approximately $1,004,429 higher than without the tax change); the Fire Department’s proposed budget is $10,851,417 (about $782,571 higher than without the change). Emergency Management and Homeless Strategies also show incremental increases tied to the PSSSF adjustments.
Budget notes state the PSSSF increase would be used for salaries, benefits and operating costs across affected departments. The materials list affected departments as Police, Fire, Emergency Management, Homeless Strategies and Code Enforcement and include separate budget lines for each department’s proposed figures and the delta from the “without tax change” scenario.
Council materials do not show final approval at the May 13 meeting; staff recommended follow-up work to refine assumptions and present final ordinance language if the council elects to proceed. The tentative budget included both high-level summaries and detailed worksheets with account numbers and revenue/expenditure lines to support the department figures.
