The New Fiscal Year

The municipal fiscal year began on July 1, 2026 and ends on June 30, 2027. You will often see the “FY 2027” title for issues and financial transactions. That refers to the fiscal year beginning on July 1st.

For FY 2027 the City Council approved a $565 million spending plan which will maintain level services for major city departments, including but not limited to: Police, Fire, Schools, Public Works, Building and Inspectional Services.

As always, it is critically important we monitor spending and never create a deficit which requires additional funds. The city operates on a very constrained revenue stream which includes local receipts (property and other taxes) and state aid for general government and education services.

My work as a councilor-at-large changes with evoling issues: Public Safety, Education, Environmental Issues, Municipal Finance. Making the best decisions for our city takes time to research these issues and then vote in the best interests of all residents. I enjoy the work and am honored to represent you. Please contact me anytime if questions or concerns arise.

My best to you and your family. Be safe!
