On April 15, Rochester City Manager Katie Ambrose presented the proposed operating and capital budgets for Fiscal Year (FY) 2026 at the City Council workshop meeting. The proposed budget, inclusive of City, County, and School appropriations, comes in $337,280 below the tax cap and reflects a continued commitment to strong fiscal health. The proposed budget is based on the allowable FY 2026 tax effort of $79,552,624, an increase of $3,447,725 (4.5%) over FY 2025, calculated per City Charter requirements by applying 2.95% CPI and 1.58% Net New Construction to the FY 2025 tax effort of $76,104,899.
