Update rules for city budgeting and purchasing contracts
In Plain English
The city currently estimates property transfer tax revenue using all sales since 2018, but large sales over $10 million skew projections too high. If approved, staff excludes these big sales when calculating how much tax revenue to expect each year. The policy also requires all city contracts to include clear start and end dates.
