FY 2026-27 General Fund deficit
Summary
The city plans to spend about $59.3 million but expects only $52.6 million in revenue — roughly a $7 million gap covered by one-time money and reserves. Fund balance has already dropped from $31.9M to $22.4M. Residents and councilmembers pressed for a path back to a truly balanced budget.
