Commission adopts $200.7 million FY2027 budget, adds three positions

The New Smyrna Beach City Commission on Sept. 23 adopted Resolution 31-26, approving the city's final fiscal year 2027 budget at $200,737,965. Finance Director Drury presented the budget, noting it is approximately $1.2 million, or less than 1%, higher than the FY2026 adopted budget and described it as structurally balanced with three new positions funded.

Drury read statutory language and told the commission the budget supports services including police, fire, parks and recreation, streets, stormwater, the airport, economic development, planning and engineering, building and inspection services, and general government operations. After discussion, the commission voted and the resolution passed with a recorded vote that included one no vote from Commissioner Martin.
