FY 2026-27 Budget Deficit Reduction
Summary
The city cut a $7.8 million general fund shortfall down to about $2.2 million by deleting positions, freezing hiring, pausing sponsorships, and keeping service reductions like the pool closure. Residents should expect fewer staffed services, though public safety still takes 81.5% of discretionary dollars.
