3 issues in taxes budget with critical priority
FY 2026 budget amendment
A first reading of an amendment to the current fiscal year budget, revising line items documented in Exhibit A. Budget amendments shift money between accounts during the year.
FY 2027 budget gap and possible rate/tax increases
The city is spending about $10.9 million more than it expects to collect next year, and staff says reserves can't keep covering the gap. Expect conversations about raising utility rates, the fire assessment, and possibly millage — plus a state tax reform referendum that could cut another $8.2 million over two years.
Tentative millage rate increase to 8.4 mils
The commission was scheduled to set the ceiling for next year's property tax rate at 8.4000 mills. Final adoption comes after public hearings in September.
