SPECIAL WORK SESSION AGENDA MEMO
To: Mayor, Councilmembers and City Administrator
From: Kim Sommerland, Finance Director
Department: Finance
Subject: 2027 Preliminary Budget Development
Meeting: Council Work Session - Sep 08 2026
INTRODUCTION:
This session will provide an opportunity for City Council to review key elements and
estimated impact of the proposed 2027 preliminary budget.
DISCUSSION:
Staff will highlight notable changes in the proposed budget and provide an overview of
the estimated tax levy and the resulting tax rate. The discussion will primarily focus on the
portions of the budget and Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) funded by the property tax
levy, including operating expenses, capital projects directly impacted by the levy, and key
department requests. Staff will explain how the proposed levy supports core services and
initiatives and will highlight significant changes compared to the previous year.
While the full budget includes multiple funds and projects, this review will concentrate on
levy -supported items to allow for timely Council feedback before the preliminary levy is
finalized.
The work session will provide an opportunity for Council to ask questions, consider potential
impacts on residents, and offer feedback to guide revisions before the preliminary budget
is completed.
BUDGET IMPACT:
No immediate impact. Discussion will aid in finalizing the 2027 preliminary budget.
ACTION REQUESTED:
Staff requests that City Council provide feedback to help guide potential revisions prior to
finalizing the preliminary budget for Council approval.
