FY27 Budget Gap
Facts
Revenue Workshop figures show an estimated $492K revenue increase, $1.14M expenditure increase, and approximately $647K FY27 planning gap. This is not a current FY26 operating deficit.
Tradeoffs
The City can pursue new revenues, reduce or slow expenses, adjust fees, defer projects, or combine approaches. Each choice affects taxpayers, services, and long-term stability.
My View
Residents deserve a clear explanation of the gap, realistic options, and a plan that protects public safety, infrastructure, and long-term financial health.
