Des Moines City Council approves 2027 budget, focusing on public safety and service cuts
The Des Moines City Council has passed the fiscal year 2027 budget, totaling $855 million, with a $256 million general fund primarily funded by property taxes. After last years significant cuts, this years reductions are more moderate, including the elimination of 16 positions, a $250,000 cut to library funding, and the discontinuation of a violence prevention program. The council also approved a 6% stormwater rate increase. Council members emphasized priorities, with some advocating for public safety and others focusing on aid for the homeless and poor. The city manager expects the next budget to improve with a property reassessment.
