FY 2026-27 BudgetCity Council6d agoJune 16, 2026
Council adopts $49.6M budget 4-1 after Stanish protests unfunded fire battalion chief
The FY 2026-27 budget passes with a $1.6M general fund deficit, a new $4.5M capital reserve fund, and a swap from a ladder truck to two smaller fire vehicles.
Why it matters: The budget establishes a structural deficit offset by Measure K revenue; the new capital reserve forces the city to honestly account for future replacement costs it has historically ignored.
