Council schedules final workshop, asks staff for multi-year budget scenarios
Summary
Council agreed to hold one more budget workshop before the public hearing and asked staff to present multi-year scenarios modeling tax-credit sales, property sales and a 1-mill increase so members can compare service-level trade-offs.
After reviewing department-line cuts and hearing public comment, councilors directed staff to prepare one more workshop before the budget hearing to review multi-year scenarios. The requested scenarios should include the effect of selling tax credits, the financial impact of selling surplus property, and the outcomes of a hypothetical 1-mill levy increase so council can compare raising revenue versus cutting services.
Councilors emphasized that tax-credit sales are a one-time remedy and asked staff to show longer-term structural scenarios that illustrate whether the city would need repeated adjustments. The council discussed possible dates (Aug. 11 or 18) and agreed to schedule a final workshop at least 14 days before the budget hearing.
