Proposed 2027 City Budget and Tax Increase
City administration submitted a two-year forecasted budget for 2027 projecting an operating deficit of $886,000, driven largely by flat revenues and contractual expense increases.
Mid-Year Budget Projections and Fiscal Pressures
City officials are reviewing mid-year budget estimates, highlighting a projected $200,000 to $300,000 overrun in fire department overtime and a $70,000 revenue shortfall due to shifting RACP funds. These tight figures require close monitoring across all departments.
