Recurring deficits our calculation

General fund spending (incl. transfers out) exceeded revenues (incl. transfers in) in 2024, 2025, and operating funds overall spent more than they took in in 2023, 2024 (last 3 AFR years). Planned use of fund balance can cause this; check the adopted budgets.

Levy above tax cap

OSC tax cap filings: proposed levy exceeded the computed levy limit for FY 2025 (by $38,444, override planned). Exceeding the limit requires a local law override (60% of the governing body).
