City staff presented a proposed $469 million 2027–28 biennial budget, flagged major cost drivers and recommended revenue options including a 0.1% public-safety sales tax and a 0.01% human-services sales tax, while scheduling deeper study sessions in October and public hearings in November.

Finance staff briefed council on mid‑biennium adjustments including a recommended $500,000 transfer to the budget stabilization fund, opioid settlement spending, capital scheduling changes, a state‑reimbursable land purchase for Shop 1 and modest permit fee adjustments to improve cost recovery; council held questions but took no votes.
