City Council Reviews Proposed $84 Million Budget with Focus on Capital Investment
The City Council received a presentation of the proposed budget and plan of municipal services for Fiscal Year 2026-2027. Key highlights included significant capital investments, with over half of the $84 million budget allocated to capital projects and infrastructure improvements. The budget also addresses operational costs, including a substantial allocation to Public Safety. Discussions covered various tax rates (no new revenue, voter approval, de minimis), fund balances, revenue projections (sales tax), and proposed utility rate adjustments. The council was also informed about the budget calendar, including upcoming finance board meetings, a public hearing, and a workshop for a deeper dive into the budget details before adoption.
City Hires Consultant to Rewrite Zoning and Subdivision Ordinances
The City Council authorized the city manager to execute an agreement with Kendon Keist Collaborative to provide professional consulting services for rewriting the city's zoning ordinance and subdivision regulations. This initiative is a direct result of recommendations from the city's newly approved comprehensive plan, aiming to align development standards with the community's vision, including aspects like unique development character, density control, preservation of open space, pedestrian connectivity, and environmental considerations. The project will involve a phased approach, starting with discovery and stakeholder engagement, followed by ordinance framework development and implementation, including an interim ordinance adjustment to provide regulatory guidance during the process. The total proposed cost for these services is $228,138, plus an annual fee for a digital platform.
