FY 2026-27 Operating Budget Adoption

Poway adopted a roughly $133 million operating budget with no tax increases, adding six staff positions, a $1.8 million cash-purchased fire engine, and keeping the county's highest reserves at 45%. Neighboring cities are cutting fire staffing or eyeing sales tax measures; Poway is doing the opposite.
