What happened
The Saratoga Springs City Council held a special workshop where Finance Commissioner JoAnne Kiernan unveiled the 2027 comprehensive budget. The plan includes an 18% property tax increase, which would override the New York state property tax cap. The city also called for a workforce reduction as part of the budget.

Why it matters
The tax increase is intended to address a financial problem that has been building over the last four years, as operating expenses have increased while recurring revenues have not kept pace. The city noted that reliance on fund balance to cover the gap is not a sustainable way to operate.
