Budget Analysis

The 8.3% property tax levy rise and projected further levy growth strengthen recurring revenue. A newly appointed City Manager accelerates willingness to fund capital and ICT initiatives, with the levy increase providing the fiscal room to act on priorities.

Capital Projects

The FY26-30 CIP and planned FY2026 projects include $2.56M for ICT (with a $2.45M replacement program) and multiple public safety, EMS, and utilities vehicle/equipment investments. These are explicitly funded, named procurement items on a defined timeline.

Procurement Outlook

ICT vendors, public safety equipment providers, and fleet suppliers match CIP-funded procurement items. Woodbury's $2.45M ICT replacement program is the standout opportunity — a multi-year funded initiative with defined scope and budget authority.
