City manager presents $540.2M FY27 recommended budget; no property tax increase proposed
Summary
City Manager Robert presented the FY27 recommended budget totaling $540,200,000, proposing no property tax increase and recommending fee adjustments, investments in public safety, utilities, and parks/trails, with public hearings scheduled June 4 and June 18.
City Manager Robert introduced the fiscal year 2027 recommended budget as the product of months of work across departments and council direction. He told the council the recommended plan aligns with the council's priorities and does not propose a property tax increase; staff proposed fee adjustments where needed to keep pace with rising service costs.
"The fiscal year 27 combined budget across all 40 plus funds totals $540,200,000," Robert said, and noted the budget is balanced and includes targeted investments in public safety staffing and technology, utility and transportation infrastructure, and continued expansion of parks and trails funded by the voter-approved 2023 GO bond. He also announced the recommended budget document would be made available online and that the city would hold public hearings and a budget open house on June 4 and June 18 to solicit community feedback.
Council members thanked staff for the work invested in the budget document and said they would review details in the coming weeks during budget meetings and public engagement opportunities. No final council action was required at the meeting; staff asked the public to review the recommended budget online and provide comment.
