Your feedback helps us prioritize what to improve next.
The vote sets the initial direction for preparing the 2027 budget; it does not adopt the final budget. Holding the levy flat would require significant reductions or additional revenue to close the projected gap. Council rejected proposals for a 5% budget reduction and a 1.5% levy increase.
