Where would the money for schools come from?\u00a0 Here are some possibilities that total at least $1.6M. And this is all “recurring revenue.\u201d<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n

FY26 Potential areas for savings:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

1. Personnel reserve ($800K savings)<\/strong> – FY26 budget of $900K is $800K higher than FY25. Move back to $100K<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Cash capital ($275K savings) <\/strong>– there is $275K here that can be re-allocated (projects can be paid for with reserves instead)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Parking receipts ($200K savings)<\/strong> – the city is budgeting FY26 receipts to be 19% below FY24 actual receipts (FY24 is the most recent completed year). This revenue estimate can be increased by $200K<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Licenses and permits ($50K savings)<\/strong> – the city is budgeting FY26 receipts to be 12% below FY24 receipts (FY24 is the most recent completed year). This revenue estimate can be increased by $50K<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Offset: school choice & libraries revenue ($134K savings) <\/strong>– the FY26 budget is $134K less than the FY25 budget. Unless there is a reason why we would have less school choice revenue, revert to the FY25 budget estimate<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Special education stabilization fund revenue ($141K savings)<\/strong> – the FY26 budget says $209,175, which is much lower than the $350,000 in FY25 budget and the $350,000 the superintendent is using for the FY26 budget. Increase this by $141K<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7. Other departments with open positions ($?) <\/strong>– for example, if a department is continually carrying open positions, do they need to have the full year’s budget allocated to all of those positions, or can a lesser estimate be responsibly used?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
