This was a budget planning session, not final approval of the Fiscal Year 2027 budget. The direction could shape future spending and revenue estimates, while staff also warned that more General Fund reductions may be needed. Fiscal Year 2026 sales tax receipts were under budget in 8 of 9 months, and a taxpayer refund request is expected to undergo an audit.
