Marin Nelson, the city’s finance director, walked through the capital items that staff included in the FY2027 budget. She listed the AV and council‑chambers renovation, an emergency operations center renovation at the police station, an operations center expansion with a fuel‑island upgrade to meet state requirements and water‑system work including the 200 North and Kingsport waterline projects and West Davis Corridor trail enhancements. Nelson said the capital items are published in the tentative and modified tentative budget documents attached to the FY2027 packet.
Nelson also recapped personnel and operational changes — a net shift that removes two administrative positions while adding a human‑resources specialist and expanding hours for a fire administrative assistant — and emphasized the city’s effort to minimize the rate increase compared with earlier proposals. The city presented the cumulative monthly impact number of $16.60 to show how the added revenue and utility changes translate to a resident’s monthly bill.
