FY 2026-27 City Budget

The budget shows a small operating surplus ($231K), healthy reserves ($37.5M), and big cost pressures: sheriff's contract up $436K, pensions up to $1.1M, and federal COVID funds expiring for 4.25 positions. A new deputy city manager role replaces the assistant city manager at roughly $100K savings.

2026-27 Federal CDBG and HOME Funding

The city expects about $542,776 in CDBG and $230,551 in HOME funds, plus roughly $200,000 in leftover pandemic grants that must be spent by September. Staff recommends splitting most public-service grants evenly at $9,560 each, which drew scrutiny from Ly and Dang over whether funds truly serve and track Rosemead residents.
