The City Council will hold a public hearing to receive public input regarding the proposed 2025-2026 fiscal year annual operating budget. The budget will raise more total property taxes than last year's budget by $961,399, which is a 16.9 percent increase from the current budget year. Of that amount, $370,639 is tax revenue to be raised from new property added to the tax roll this year.

The proposed budget for the fiscal year 2025-2026 includes property tax information, revenue projections, and expenditure details for various city departments. It covers general government functions such as administration, community development, and the city secretary, as well as public safety functions including the police department and municipal court. The budget also outlines the city's mission, vision, and guiding principles.
