The Escondido City Council adopted the city's operating budget for the 2026/27 fiscal year, the spending plan that funds city services for the year. Council Member Martinez made the motion and Council Member Fitzgerald seconded it, and the council approved the item 5-0.
The council acted on four resolutions at once. Resolution No. 2026-91 approved the annual operating budget itself, and Resolution No. 2026-92 approved the city's appropriations limit, also called the Gann Limit, for the same year. The other two dealt with city pay: Resolution No. 2026-105 amended the salary and benefits plan for the unclassified and management groups, and Resolution No. 2026-107 amended the full-time compensation schedule for all employee groups.
The item came to the council from the Finance Department, and Christina Holmes, Director of Finance, recommended approval. The record here does not say how much money the budget sets aside or what the appropriations limit was set at.
