What this means
Council reviewed the proposed FY2026–2027 budget, including personnel costs, public safety, operations, deferred maintenance, and possible property-tax rates. Staff said the proposed budget was designed to provide more flexibility for maintenance and long-delayed projects. The minutes do not record a final budget or property-tax rate adoption, so the options presented were not final changes for residents.
