Budget, Finance, and Economic Development Committee (2025-2027) — April 23, 2026
Mayor Bissen's proposed FY 2027 budget sets county spending, fees, rates, and taxes for the year starting July 1, 2026. It affects services residents use daily and what they pay in county fees and taxes.
Budget, Finance, and Economic Development Committee (2025-2027) — April 9, 2026
The whole day was devoted to the mayor's proposed FY27 budget, starting with the ag department and the mayor's office. Residents got their only chance to testify on it today, with decisions week coming later.
Budget, Finance, and Economic Development Committee (2025-2027) — March 10, 2026
The committee is gearing up for budget review season, with updated department calendars and standardized question formats posted online. Deliberations begin at the March 17 meeting.
Budget, Finance, and Economic Development Committee (2025-2027) — January 27, 2026
Finance reported nearly $99 million in unspent carryover, including $87.4 million in revenue above budget and $20 million in excess GET collections. The chair called it uncomfortable that money sits unspent while residents face tax and sewer-rate hikes, and the committee deferred action pending a three-year lookback.
