economic prosperity, and cultural vibrancy
in order to build a thriving and long-lasting
community.

that promotes public safety and healthy
lifestyle options.
THRIVING LOCAL ECONOMY

local economy with opportunities for
residents and businesses.

hardworking, ethical, approachable, and
responsive city government.
h Police labor contracts are up for renegotiation at the end of 2018, and the Teamsters' contract at the end of 2019.
Key issues affecting the 2019-2020 budget process include maintaining the City's ability to provide current levels of service, ensuring that all
new programs were aligned with the Mayor's and Council's priorities, and providing adequate fund balances and reserves. Major budget
highlights include:
h Sales tax revenue growth is projected to average 3.3% per year for the biennium.
h Property tax growth is limited to 1% plus new construction; all banked property tax has been levied.
