The FY 2027 Financial Policies and Council Budget Guidelines update involved proposed edits to the city's financial policies and budget guidelines intended to govern preparation of the FY 2027 budget.
On October 28, 2025, Chief Financial Officer J.C. Martinez presented the suggested updates to the City Council during a work session (Agenda Item 12c); no formal action was taken at that time. The item returned on November 18, 2025 (Agenda Item 6e), where it had initially been placed on the consent agenda but was pulled by Councilmember Peterson for separate discussion.
The Council then voted unanimously to adopt the proposed edits to the financial policies and the suggested budget guidelines for use in FY 2027 budget preparation. The matter is now fully resolved.
