City Commission Workshop - June 10, 2026

The City Commission Workshop for the City of Tallahassee held on June 10, 2026, focused primarily on the fiscal year 2027 balanced budget proposal totaling $955.8 million. Key procurement-related discussions included approval of budget amendments for capital projects such as refuse truck purchases requiring advanced orders, additional funding for the Waverly Road sidewalk project, and accelerating $750,000 in budget for City EV charging station projects. The commission also addressed the impact of a proposed constitutional amendment on property tax revenues, which could reduce local property tax income significantly, prompting the implementation of a voluntary separation incentive program expected to save $8.46 million. The commission approved the budget amendments and a tentative millage rate of 4.4072, with some members expressing concerns about the need for further budget scrutiny and potential service impacts. The meeting included public comments and a discussion on the challenges posed by state legislative actions affecting local revenue and services.
