An Order to place a $6 million operating override on the November 4, 2025 ballot.

The City Council, with Mayor's approval, orders the placement of a ballot question to seek voter approval to override the levy limit by $6 million to fund municipal and school operating budgets for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2026. The measure is backed by the Mayor’s Financial Advisory Board as a response to rising costs and revenue gaps, aiming to maintain level services and prevent staff cuts and program reductions. The City Clerk must place the question on the November 4, 2025 ballot no later than Sept. 30, 2025; public forums may be scheduled to inform voters.
