Top issues during term (11)(Budget)
Fiscal Year 2027 Budget Adoption
Impacts property owners through a proposed tax rate of $0.394805 per $100 valuation and sets county operational spending.
FY 2027 Property Tax Rate
The proposed rate would increase the estimated property tax bill for a median-valued home from $934.11 to $1,073.74.
Health Plan Sustainability
Employees will see a 15% increase in their monthly insurance premiums starting in 2027.
county budget revenue
This unexpected $380,000 boost helps the county budget without needing to raise taxes.
budget cuts
The city is tightening its belt, which means less money flowing into the local programs that keep our community running.
Behavioral Health and Opioid Settlement Funding Initiatives
Funded at $200,000 primarily from opioid settlement revenues.
museum infrastructure funding
The city gets a $10 million boost in state funds to modernize a major local attraction without dipping into the local tax base.
infrastructure funding
The city is pulling nearly a quarter-million dollars from the public budget to subsidize infrastructure for a private subdivision.
public health funding
The district is down over a million bucks, which means less money to keep the lights on and the staff paid.
budget deficit
You might see reduced city services or higher fees as the city tries to balance its books.
data center tax policy
Ending these breaks could mean more tax revenue for the city, but it might also scare off big tech companies looking for a cheaper place to build.
