Staff presented draft FY27 spending plans for streets and transportation and explained how the city would pay for them. The city plans to bring more street striping work in-house (a striping truck was purchased and an operator is expected to start in June), which should change how contract and materials money is used. The AEL lets certain routine purchases proceed without separate council votes, so fewer items appear on future agendas. Council did not adopt the budget at this meeting and requested more information about overall debt and reserve levels.
