Staff presented the 2027 budget framework (proposed total just over $17 million) and the commission approved Resolution 2026-13 to set a maximum mill levy above the revenue-neutral rate; commissioners debated cuts, transfers from utility funds and a $20,000 library funding request while asking SCCD to present before any change in interlocal funding.

City staff presented the initial draft of the 2027 general-fund expenditures, highlighting pressures on reserves, a notable five-year payment for Axon body cameras in police capital outlay, rising fuel and equipment costs for streets and parks, and a $15,000 cemetery land purchase set‑aside.
