City Council (Regular) - Oct 26, 2026
The city expects to bring in $1.5 million more than budgeted this year, thanks largely to court costs from Hunting Valley traffic cameras, higher property tax collections and strong investment earnings. The proposed 2027 revenue budget is $68.9 million, up 3.4%, with income taxes growing 3%. Expenditure-side numbers come in two weeks.
