The city’s 2027 budget faces tough choices: a 2-dollar-95-cent monthly property tax hike for most homeowners to close a $158 million shortfall, while slashing $89.6 million in spending. City Manager Erik Walsh insists it’s a responsible plan protecting essentials like police, fire, streets, and libraries. Big investments go to homeless services ($30.8M), affordable housing ($37.7M), and infrastructure ($129M+). Public safety gets major funding—with 49 new police officers and 9 new firefighters—and Animal Care Services is getting a new hospital. Plus, over $156M in tax relief is offered to seniors and disabled residents.
