Clean audit and city finances
Summary
The city got a clean audit for fiscal 2024-25 with the general fund finishing $1.79 million ahead — the seventh straight positive year. The catch: the retirement fund is running a deficit, and unfunded pension liabilities sit at $86.8 million, which council members questioned at length.

Impact analysis
General fund balance is now $22.96 million, but the retirement fund spent $10.5 million against $10.3 million in revenue.
Residents benefit from strong reserves and a city in good fiscal shape.
Future taxpayers carry the risk of the $86.8 million unfunded pension liability if investment returns fall below assumptions.
