Staff notes nearly $20,000 increase in police contract line for 2026 draft
Summary
Staff told the council the police contract line rose by nearly $20,000 in the proposed 2026 budget based on a signed contract; building inspection and emergency management lines are largely unchanged.
During the budget walkthrough staff noted that the police contract line in the draft 2026 budget increased by nearly $20,000 due to a signed contract that will raise costs in that operating area. "Police contract, we just increased probably in almost $20 right there," the staff member said while reviewing the general government pages.
Other public-safety related lines such as building inspection and emergency management were described as remaining essentially the same in the draft, and staff did not propose significant staffing increases tied to the contract change in the workshop presentation. Staff said details would be included in the formal budget documents provided prior to the council's adoption process.
