To stay fiscally responsible, city departments are cutting 75% of vacant roles, giving public safety staff their annual raises, and boosting the minimum wage for city workers to $16.25/hour. City leaders kicked off the budget process six weeks early to invite community feedback, holding multiple meetings and planning more opportunities for residents to weigh in before the August vote. While property taxes may rise, transparency and public input remain central to this balancing act between service delivery and long-term financial health.
