PICA’s March 2025 newsletter highlights the City’s proposed FY26–30 Five-Year Plan, projecting declining fund balances and operating deficits. It also notes continued staffing shortages and recommends that the City consolidate the Sheriff and Register of Wills offices.

PICA’s FY26 budget totals $1.69 million in expenditures, funded primarily by a surplus from the operating account, with a modest transfer from the PICA Tax and projected interest earnings. Expenditures are down 4% from FY25, largely due to the completion of one-time initiatives, and the budget introduces a 17% fund balance consistent with best practices.
