Finance Committee - Regular Meeting
The Budget Engagement Commission held a workshop to discuss the Fiscal Year 2026-2028 Biennial Budget, focusing on the General Fund and Measure Z Spending Plan. The city is facing multi-year deficits due to rising costs and slower revenue growth, leading to proposed cost reductions and strategic use of reserves. Commissioners raised questions regarding the allocation of Measure Z funds, particularly for youth, seniors, and people with disabilities, and the impact of budget cuts on community services and infrastructure.
