The committee recommended a new way to charge park impact fees — fees paid by new development to fund park capital projects — and sent that recommendation to the full City Council for final approval. Staff also reported the city’s main operating fund (the General Fund) is roughly $2.49 million above its reserve, giving the city some additional financial flexibility. The city will change its 2027 budget process so the entire Executive Team participates earlier, which should increase internal visibility of budget choices.
