What the budgets show
The fiscal 2027 adopted budget lists general fund revenues of $65,116,801 and expenditures of $64,335,656 for fiscal 2025 actual, which differ from the financial report's figures; the budget document does not state the reason.

In a May 2020 budget workshop, Finance Director Richard Anderson said the general fund reserve target is 18% with a statutory maximum of 25%, and that a resolution might raise the target to 20%. The documents reviewed do not state the fund balance as a percentage of revenue. [8]
