City staff presented a draft operating budget for FY2027 that proposes $27.1 million in spending, about 4% less than the current year. Personnel costs are projected to rise while many operating expenses are reduced; the council did not adopt the budget at this meeting and asked for more detailed revenue and capital information before making final decisions. The council noted the millage rate will be held steady for now (meaning your property tax rate is expected to stay the same) and raised concerns about potential county library funding reductions that could affect local library services.
