Former Council Member Diane Buckshnis and concerned citizen Jim Ogonowski hosted an “Understanding the Budget and Levy Lid Lift” fireside chat for a group at the library. The two-hour session explained how the budget is developed, including capital projects, and what it means for the Council to approve a balanced budget. Mr. Ogonowski explained an alternative 2026 budget scenario that would address the original $6.0 million need for new revenues. He has shared this information with the City. The presentation material is shown here.
