FY 2425 2526 Recommended Operating Budget

Summary

The Recommended FY 24-25 and FY 25-26 budget reflects an assumption of continuing economic growth trajectory and increased costs in providing the services, with the enhancements that prioritize what our Community demands. There are 9.0 additional FTEs proposed in the budget, with only two Police Officers directly impacting the General Fund. However, as mentioned previously, there remains uncertainties in our economic outlook that could derail our assumptions. Staff will cautiously approach spending and continue to be vigilant and monitor the progress as well as keep the Council abreast of any changes to the City’s financial condition and outlook to ensure the City’s fiscal sustainability. I would like to express appreciation to the City Council and to all staff for their cooperation and assistance in the development of this budget. In particular, I want to thank the Department Heads and Budget Team for their constant support in the preparation of this document.

Respectfully submitted,

Christina Turner City Manager
