Commissioners shown $1.5M for housing rehab and $200K for zoning update in FY2026 draft
Summary
The proposed FY2026 draft includes a $1.5 million line for housing/home-rehab programs and $200,000 for consulting to update zoning regulations and spur economic development.
City Manager Sarges told the commission that community development would see substantial increases in FY2026, including a $1,500,000 allocation for housing and home-rehab programs and $200,000 to pay consultants to update zoning regulations and support economic development work.
"We also added 1.25 $11,250,000. So that will bring that line item to $1,500,000 for housing, home rehab rates," Sarges said (transcript contained formatting errors; amount described as $1,500,000). He said the zoning-regulation consulting will help update the cityzoning code and support economic-development initiatives.
Staff said many of the community development increases are tied to grants and external funding sources; commissioners asked for clearer documentation of grant matches and program eligibility before final adoption.
