Finance Chair Brannan provides an overview of the city's economic outlook based on the Council's forecast.

  • The Council projects tax revenue to grow at an average of 4.5% annually through the forecast period.
  • This growth rate, while positive, remains below the 5.5% annual growth seen in the prior decade.
  • Brannan notes that while the economic environment is not ideal, it does not justify aggressive cuts.

The council sees tax revenue to grow at an average of 4.5% annually through the forecast period, while trending the right way remains below the five and a half percent annual growth the city saw in the prior decade.

While the council does not project a dream economic environment, that's no rationale for aggressive cuts and failing to make use of every resource we have on hand.
