12 May 2026 10:12

The San Ramon City Council is resuming budget discussions on May 12, focusing on the city's ongoing deficit and reliance on Measure N sales tax revenue. - The preliminary budget for FY27 shows a continuing deficit and growing dependency on Measure N funds.

- Without Measure N, the city would have needed to cut nearly $12 million in spending over the past year. - Measure N is a temporary 10-year sales tax that has boosted reserves to nearly 42%.

- The city aims to achieve a balanced operating budget by FY35. The council will take feedback and return with a proposed budget for adoption on May 26.
