1. Presentation of the Fiscal Year 2026-27 The Council and Staff meet and discussion Draft Budget the fiscal year 2026-27. There was interest from councilmembers in seeing how the
percentages shift over 5-10 years, with a
request for historical charts to assess
long-term trends (e.g., admin vs. capital vs.
public safety over time).
• The preliminary FY 2026-27 budget
confirms that no program cuts are
proposed.
• The General Fund is projected to
have a $235,000 surplus on total
revenues of about $35 million,
strengthening already healthy
reserves.
• By year-end, total reserves are
expected to be over $44 million, with
unassigned reserves covering about
6-8 months of operations.
• One-time revenues from
redevelopment loan paybacks and
strong development/permit activity are
driving this year's positive outlook but
may not repeat.
• About 30% of General Fund spending
goes to public safety, with other major
shares to public works, administration,
