The City Council held several work sessions to discuss and develop the 2026 budget. After
adopting the preliminary budget and levies in September, staff continued to revise the
budget to align with Council priorities and directives; however, no changes were made to
the total budget amount or levy. Additionally, as part of the two-year budget process, the
Council reviews a 10-year plan for capital funds, projects, and a financial forecast, which is
titled the Long-Term Plan. Assistant Finance Director Jodi Bursheim will provide an updated
overview of the budget and how market values impact property taxes. After the Council
receives public comment, recommend adoption of the resolution approving the 2026
budget, 2026 property tax levy, 2026 Economic Development Authority property tax levy,
and the 2026-2035 Long Term Plan.
