FY 2026-2027 EDC budget
Revenue isn't growing like it used to, and costs keep climbing — so next year's budget is lean, holding the tax rate at roughly 65 cents. Staff is exploring new fees (possibly including a non-resident library fee and field lighting fees) and recommending 3% raises for non-sworn staff. Residents can weigh in at Budget & Burgers on June 25 or online.

Bond 2027 potential projects
The draft wish list — roads, neighborhood streets, fire and police facility remodels, Heritage Park — totals about $125 million, but the city only has about $50 million of debt capacity without a tax increase. The bond committee starts picking winners this week.
