Impact analysis
Water costs are running roughly double expectations, and a $1 million additional PERS payment plus $750,000 infrastructure transfer will likely leave a modest year-end deficit despite strong revenues.
All residents benefit from healthy reserves and continued funding of roads, parks, and city services.
