Fiscal Year 2026-27 Proposed Budget & Millage Rates

Advocated for keeping arts, culture, and non-profit funding intact in the budget as essential economic and community assets.

Requested timely confirmation of city support for Festival of the Arts Boca so organizers can finalize artist contracts for the upcoming season.

Pointed out that city property tax collections and expenditures have grown much faster than population growth and inflation over recent years.

Encouraged the city to focus on strategic revenue growth rather than just budget cuts and restrictive development policies.
