How much of the projected loss have your choices covered?
The loss amounts are rounded City estimates based on FY2026 property tax revenue. The sliders use the adopted FY2026/27 service budgets for both selections. This comparison does not project future service budgets.
Core Services
Police, Fire, and Public Works remain separate because each provides a different frontline service.
Administrative & Citywide Support
Finance, Human Resources, Information Services & Technology, and General Government Services are combined into one simulator group instead of four separate sliders.
Community & Growth
Parks & Leisure Services and Development Services are shown as the current FY2027 organizational groups.
Not Adjustable in This Exercise
These amounts are shown so the simulator accounts for the rest of the General Fund structure without presenting them as department reduction sliders.
Excluded leadership and records budgets
These were specifically excluded from the simulator.
- City Commission, $490,730
- City Manager, $1,509,828
- City Clerk, $713,979
Other General Fund amount
Cemetery operations: $89,425.
The budget book shows $7,115,212 for the Parks & Leisure Services function and $89,425 for the Physical Environment function, which is cemetery operations. Its department table groups these activities as $7,204,636 for Parks & Leisure Services. The displayed function amounts differ from that department total by $1 due to rounding. The six sliders plus the four amounts listed here add up to $74,260,952, $1 more than the $74,260,951 General Fund total for the same reason.
