    The City Manager presented the Fiscal Year 2025 Operating and Capital Budget to the Mayor and Council on April 9, 2024, emphasizing long-term financial sustainability, strategic investment, and employee retention as key priorities. The budget reflects adjustments to the previously planned 5-year General Fund Investment Plan due to forecasted revenue decreases from the State's new flat income tax policy, which will reduce the city's shared income tax collections for FY25 and FY26 more than initially expected. The FY25 budget continues funding for public safety equipment and facilities, collector streets per Proposition 411 commitments, and adds a $6 million local match requirement for a Housing Choice grant award.
