Process for This Workshop <br />For this budget workshop, staff will discuss the 2026 Proposed Budget, outline key points and answer any <br />questions from Council. We are seeking feedback on changes to make before the Council certifies a <br />preliminary levy at the September 16th meeting. Additional fine-tuning of the budget will take place <br />through the time it is adopted in December. <br />Specifically: <br />1)Is the Council supportive of the Capital Levy levels? <br />2)Is the Council supportive of the proposed staffing changes? <br />3)Are there any questions the Council has about specific expenditures in the detailed Budgets? <br />After setting the preliminary levy in September, Council may reduce the amount in December, but cannot <br />increase it. <br />ATTACHMENTS <br />1)2026 Proposed Master Budget Worksheet – All Budgets <br />2)Letters re: Washington County Sheriff Contract & Comparable Cities Comparison <br />3)Memos regarding staffing changes <br />4)Tax Levy & Tax Base History
