The Washington City Council adopted the fiscal year 2026–27 budget on second reading at the Sept. 21 meeting. The presenter told council he had made one substantive change from the draft — increasing the projected sales-tax growth assumption to 3.5% (from 2.5%), which he estimated added around $60,000–$70,000 to the general fund and roughly $30,000 each to transportation and capital funds.
The presenter thanked department heads for work on a difficult budget process and noted that no departments received everything requested; the council then moved, seconded and adopted Ordinance 3D approving the budget. The mayor later summarized the transportation projects funded in part by the sales-tax revenues and related grants.
