Quick context to catch up fast.
The committee heard that Greeley’s overall sales tax growth was materially below budget, with online purchases outpacing traditional retail, construction growth below assumptions, and earlier declines in severance tax adding revenue risk. Although the City ended 2025 with elevated cash and investment balances, about $85 million was tied to West Greeley project financing and only an estimated 1%–2% of total balances was truly flexible.

Greeley may have substantial cash on hand, but most of it is restricted for specific projects, utilities, public safety, or other commitments and cannot be freely spent. The committee also reviewed how user-supported services such as water, sewer, stormwater, parking, and golf are expected to fund their own operations and capital needs. The Food Tax Fund is scheduled to sunset on December 31, 2026, while the Quality of Life sales tax is extended through December 31, 2042.
