Council adopts FY2026–27 budget with no new tax increase, officials say
Summary
After a staff overview and public-hearing period with no public testimony, the council voted to adopt Ordinance 302-26, finalizing the FY2026–27 general fund budget that the mayor said reduces the fund from last year and does not propose a new tax increase.
The council voted to adopt Ordinance 302-26, which finalizes the FY2026–27 general-fund budget. The mayor summarized the budget approach, saying staff examined expenditures line by line, reduced or held many items, and absorbed an approximately $27,000 increase tied to the county sheriff contract while lowering the overall general-fund total compared with last year. “This budget does not include a proposed tax increase,” the mayor told the council.
The ordinance was moved and seconded, and the council approved it on roll call. The mayor said the result shows the city sought internal savings and conservative revenue estimates rather than immediately raising taxes. The budget adoption follows the public-hearing process held earlier in the meeting; no public testimony was offered on the adopted budget.
