Council voted 4-3 on Resolution R199, short of the five votes required to override the mayor’s veto of the 2026 budget bills. The vetoed package included a $740 solid waste fee, a $20 stormwater fee per 500 square feet of impervious surface, and the city’s other 2026 fund budgets.

The mayor’s veto of the 2026 budget package remains in effect because the override did not receive enough votes. Council did not approve a proposed alternative to reduce the solid waste fee by $50 and restore a 3.96% property-tax increase. The meeting record does not show final action on that alternative.
