  • 2026-2027 Budget - City of Knoxville

    Knoxville, TN
    Budget

    Mayor Indya Kincannon proposed a balanced, $499 million net budget for fiscal years 2026-2027 with no new taxes, maintaining the city's property tax rate at $2.1556 per $100 of assessed value—the lowest since 1974. The budget prioritizes public safety ($102.1 million for police and firefighter salaries and benefits), affordable housing ($8 million investment including support for the Transforming Western partnership), and parks and quality-of-life services, while withdrawing $6 million from reserves to address inflationary pressures that are outpacing revenue growth. Despite budgetary challenges from 2.2 percent sales tax growth forecasts against 3 percent anticipated inflation, Knoxville maintains strong financial reserves of $114.6 million in its General Fund Balance and holds all-time high bond ratings with the lowest debt per capita among Tennessee's six largest cities.

  • City of Wilkes-Barre

    Wilkes-Barre, PA
    Budget

    Mayor George C. Brown's 2025 budget address for the City of Wilkes-Barre identifies two major fiscal challenges: the potential loss of approximately $750,000 in annual real estate tax revenue from Commonwealth Health Wilkes-Barre General Hospital and an over 11% increase in employee healthcare costs. To offset these challenges, the administration expects increased construction and building permit revenue from major development projects including the Wright Center expansion, Meyers High School renovation into apartments and retail, the First National Bank Building purchase, and Sphere International's mixed-use development, along with anticipated increases in Earned Income Tax. The budget emphasizes cost-cutting measures in overtime and contract work, continued staffing priorities for Fire, Police, and DPW departments, infrastructure improvements including $1.1 million in Solomon's Creek flood protection and $1.5 million for Brookside Levee protection, and quality-of-life initiatives such as community policing programs and street repairs.
