Personnel and Finance Committee
The committee spent most of the night trying to close a remaining gap in the proposed 2026 General Fund budget, with about $60,000 still needing to be cut and/or replaced with new revenue. Members did approve one small but real shift: moving concession stand income into the General Fund.
Budget balancing is still unfinished: staff said roughly $60,000 still needs to be cut and more revenue found for the 2026 General Fund, meaning the numbers residents will see later could still change.
Committee voted to recommend moving concession stand income into the General Fund instead of the Special Events Fund—an accounting choice that can change which parts of city operations look “funded” versus “short.”
Capital projects and borrowing were reviewed, with current projects totaling $3,388,000 and $2,176,318 supported by property taxes—big-picture context for why the operating budget is under pressure.
