  • 2027 City Budget

    The city is preparing its 2027 annual budget, with a public hearing set for November 9. This determines funding for city services next year — residents who care about spending priorities should testify.

    What it means: The full 2027 budget figures were not included in the work session materials, so the total dollar impact isn't yet public.

  • Mayor and Council Salary Increase

    A proposed charter amendment would raise the Mayor's annual salary from $22,500 to $27,000 and adjust council member salaries. The public hearing is November 9 — this directly touches what taxpayers pay elected officials.

    What it means: Raises would add roughly $4,500 per year for the Mayor, $4,000 for each at-large member, and increase ward members' pay — a modest but recurring cost to taxpayers.
