Council reviews proposed FY26–27 general-administration 'zero budget'
Summary
City staff presented a proposed 'zero budget' for FY26–27 general administration showing anticipated revenues matching planned expenditures and highlighted conservative revenue assumptions and key line items to cover police and municipal court costs.
At a budget workshop, city staff presented a proposed FY26–27 general-administration budget described as a "zero budget," where planned funds equal expenditures. The presenter explained that department totals currently show combined funds of 4,256,100 and that the proposed general-administration revenue column shows total revenue of 3,768,500 with expenditures listed separately; staff said the documents are conservative on revenue projections to avoid shortfalls.
Johnson told the council that property taxes are the largest revenue source and that other income streams include sales taxes, franchise taxes, permits and modest engineering‑fee revenue. He also flagged prior‑period or reserve balances that could be pulled forward for one‑time uses, including about $400,000 in a street‑maintenance account the council may elect to use for capital needs.
