City Commission - Regular Meeting

The City Commission held its first budget workshop for Fiscal Year 2027, focusing on departmental budget overviews and supplemental requests. Key discussions included the city’s overall revenue and expenditure position, with a notable decrease in expenditures due to reduced police and fire pension contributions, and a detailed review of various fund balances and proposed rate adjustments for electric, water, sewer, stormwater, and refuse services. The Commission also addressed several departmental supplemental requests, including funding for certifications, promotions, and operational needs, while also discussing the potential impacts of a proposed homestead exemption increase and the need for infrastructure investment.
