The meeting was a budget workshop, not a final vote to adopt the FY2027 budget. Officials discussed how reserve funds could support major projects and noted that the city may need cash available upfront because disaster-recovery programs generally reimburse costs later. Staff also described concerns about storm exposure, limited federal assistance capacity, and the importance of the city’s pump station for moving stormwater.
