Fiscal Year 2027 Adopted Budget

The FY 2027 adopted operating budget totals $186.8 million across the city’s 10 operating funds, representing a 6.5% increase over the FY 2026 adopted budget. The development of the FY 2027 adopted budget reflects thoughtful planning, meaningful community engagement, and the collective leadership of the Mayor and Council. The budget maintains flat real and personal property tax rates, continues the implementation of the city’s adopted water and sewer utility rates, and reflects a modest increase of $20 per year for the refuse and recycling rate, and a $10 per equivalent residential unit (ERU) increase in the stormwater management fee. The FY 2027 adopted CIP includes new appropriations of $35.2 million and supports 56 capital projects. The budget includes seven new capital projects which prioritize asset preservation, regulatory compliance, safety, and placemaking while positioning the city for long-term sustainability.
