What Council is deciding
Whether or not to move forward the city's 2027 budget as drafted, which is built around a $6.3 million shortfall and includes reductions across all departments. With slowing revenues and rising costs driving a third consecutive year of multi‑million‑dollar cuts, every program and service will be affected.
Why it matters
After five years on Council, I see how choices in prior decades have influenced our options for delivering programs and services in 2026. My focus this year is making decisions that leave future Councils, staff, and community members with more sustainable and flexible options for addressing their needs and desires.
