City of Leesburg Budget Workshop #2--FY27

The City of Leesburg held its FY27 Budget Workshop #2 on July 9, 2026, focusing on reviewing various special revenue funds, debt service, capital projects, and enterprise funds including electric, gas, and airport operations. Key procurement-related discussions included the allocation and use of discretionary sales tax funds for capital projects and debt service, with $1.2 million unallocated for future projects. The gas tax fund was budgeted primarily for street lighting and road maintenance. Capital projects underway include the Susan Street, marina, and downtown parking lot projects, with ongoing management and inspection responsibilities noted. The electric fund highlighted aggressive capital improvement projects (CIPs) with a Department of Energy grant awarded to offset costs for a north substation transformer. The airport fund discussed upcoming procurement opportunities for four pad-ready sites and equipment purchases, with significant grant funding supporting airfield signage and taxi lane reconstruction. Commissioners requested further details on certain budget line items and emphasized the need to proceed with procurement for airport veterans' properties. No formal votes were recorded, but motions to adjourn were made and seconded at the meeting's conclusion.
