Today, the Board of Aldermen will vote on the FY26 city budget, which totals $361,007,868 after committee amendments added $389,196 to the general fund to restore community health positions and adjust fire department salaries—Mayor Jim Donchess said rising costs, including a 9.6% increase in health care and an 18% jump in school bus expenses, pushed overall spending above the planned 3% rise while a potential 22.9% county tax hike remains a challenge.
