FY 2026-27 Operating Budget and Use of Reserves
The city can balance next year's budget without cutting services, but only by spending $5.5 million of its savings. The state's vehicle license fee situation is the big unknown — the city is budgeting zero for a backfill that could be worth $6.8 million, and more school districts flipping to basic aid could make things worse.

The state is shorting the city millions in vehicle license fee backfill — $5 million last year against a $12 million entitlement — and a lawsuit against the state is in early stages. It's the biggest financial wildcard facing the city.
