City Council Reviews and Adopts Fiscal Year 2026-2027 Budget
Finance Director Kristi Donnelly presented the proposed budget for fiscal year 2026-2027, showing revenues of $156 million and expenditures of $164 million, resulting in a $5.5 million operating gap. This gap will be covered by the unassigned fund balance, keeping reserves within policy. The presentation included an updated 10-year forecast showing the deficit increasing due to reduced BLF funding and rising CalPERS payments. Donnelly confirmed that sufficient funds are allocated for ERP post-go-live support for one year, with a caveat to return to the council if additional funds are needed. The parking fund deficit is under review, but reserves are sufficient for the time being. The council was asked to adopt the budget and establish a spending authority.
