FY 2027 Budgetapproved

At the May 5 budget adoption, Councilmember Hall noted that the City Manager had originally proposed a real estate tax rate of $1.08 and the advertised rate was $1.095, but through the budget process the rate was brought down to $1.0725. She explained that this translates to a $462.50 increase for the average-priced home — $335 from natural growth in assessments and $127.50 attributed to the tax rate increase — and stated she felt it was important for the public to understand how the numbers broke down.

Special Use Permitapproved

At the July 28, 2026 meeting, Hall confirmed the SUP fee is approximately $600 and noted that given overall ADU construction costs ($175,000–$450,000 depending on size), the fee is relatively modest; Hall stated strong support for requiring a special use permit for detached ADUs.
