APHA previews 2027 budget, seeks office upgrades and staffing support
Summary
APHA staff previewed a 2027 subsidy request that includes significant one-time items (roughly $600,000 per jurisdiction largely for compensation and a retiring-employee payout), proposed tenant-improvement office renovations at the Truscott facility, and flagged a need for more operating space as APHA expands operations.
Matthew, APHA staff, used the Aug. 10 work session to preview the agency's 2027 subsidy request and to outline operational pressures.
"This is the subsidy request for both bodies," Matthew said, explaining a proposed increase driven largely by compensation and a one-time payout for a retiring employee. He said the requested package is largely one-off items and that he would present a more formal request to the county the next day. Matthew said the city share would be drawn from the city's $1.50 housing administration fund.
Matthew described cramped office conditions at the Truscott (the former Red Roof Inn conversion) where staff are using converted break rooms and shared cubicles. He proposed tenant improvements to create five offices (a net gain of four) and better conference space to support program operations and compliance work. Councilors asked staff to provide rent history, alternatives and a comparison of options before approving any renovation as part of the upcoming budget process.
