2. Additional Capital Needs - Family Shelter Relocation - $14M
Leases at the City family shelter locations on Chestnut Street (four buildings) expire on June
30, 2026. Due to a significant decline in asylum seeker arrivals, the current shelter is at 34%
1
capacity (41 individuals). For FY27, two Chestnut Street leases will be renewed to
accommodate anticipated guests during the year. For FY28 and beyond, a new location is
being sought. At a recent executive session, the Council received a cost estimate of $13.95M to
renovate City-owned 353 Cumberland Ave. into a permanent family shelter location. In
addition to the capital costs, operating expenses are estimated to be $1.9M higher due to the
increased capacity of the new building. Members of Council suggested use of $10M in general
obligation bonds to finance the renovation (estimated annual debt service impact of $890k for
20 years) and requested that staff identify approximately $4M in other funding sources in
addition to debt. At the current meeting the Committee will hear more detailed information
from staff including fiscal impacts, potential referendum considerations, and more. This is a
discussion item only, no action is scheduled at the current meeting.
3. Additional Capital Needs - Riverton Pool - $1.5M

Re: Additional Capital Needs - Family Shelter Relocation
MEETING DATE
May 7, 2026
AGENDA ITEM
Additional Capital Needs: Family Shelter Relocation
PURPOSE
The Council has expressed interest in relocating family shelter operations to 353 Cumberland
Avenue. This memo provides information to support the Committee’s consideration of issuing
new general obligation bonds to finance capital expenses necessary for relocation.
COMMITTEE WORK PLAN/CITY COUNCIL GOAL ALIGNMENT
The Council included “Reduce Chronic Homelessness” in its 2026 Common Council Goals.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
Since 1993, the City of Portland has operated a family shelter out of leased, residential multi-unit
buildings on Chestnut Street. The combined capacity of these buildings (collectively referred to as
“the family shelter”) is approximately 42 families, or 146 individuals.
At the current shelter, multiple families share each apartment-style unit, each of which is
equipped with a kitchen. To access supportive services and programs, guests travel to various
offsite locations because the current shelter does not include dedicated meeting space.
The lease agreement for the current family shelter expires June 30, 2026. To prepare for that
expiration, staff have worked with the City Council to explore the potential purchase or lease of
other properties that might be better suited to long-term family shelter operations.
The Council has expressed a preference for investing in City-owned property, specifically 353
Cumberland Avenue, which is occupied by Portland Public Schools’ (PPS) central office. After
discussing the Council’s interest with PPS Superintendent Ryan Scallon, City staff contracted with
a design firm to provide a schematic design and cost estimate for the building refit.
Improvements to Service Delivery and Guests’ Well-Being
At 56,000 square feet, 353 Cumberland Avenue is significantly larger than the current shelter. The
1
Page 3
proposed shelter would accommodate up to 49 families, with each family having its own
individual sleeping quarters to provide privacy and dignity during their stay. Showers, laundry,
and food services would be provided in shared spaces. A separate floor would house office space
for City staff, as well as space for service providers to meet with guests.
The additional space allows for improvements in guests’ day-to-day living and access to services,
including dedicated areas for young children such as an indoor playspace, as well as homework
and study space for school-aged kids. The site design may also include an outdoor playground.
Additional Building Space Available
353 Cumberland Avenue contains three floors; however, only two floors are needed for family
shelter operations, so the proposed design and cost estimates only reflect the work required to
activate those floors for this program.
Due to water damage, the basement-level floor has been used only for storage by PPS and
Portland Police Department in recent years. The costs associated with renovating this space to
make it usable is estimated at $5 million.
Additional Information
From 1992 to 2025, the demand for family shelter outpaced the space available at the current
shelter. However, demand dropped sharply beginning in 2025; as of May 4, 2026, the family
shelter was serving 15 families, or about 34% of its total guest capacity. It is believed that this
sharp decline is largely attributed to changes in federal immigration policy and enforcement
strategies.
In 2025, approximately 5% of family shelter guests reported a last permanent address in Portland;
3% from another Maine town; 19% from another state; 71% from another country. On average, it
takes 3 months to find stable housing for a family staying at the shelter.
Estimated Cost of Family Shelter Relocation
Capital expenses: $13.95 million Annual operating expenses: $4.8 million
Detailed design work (est.): $1.3 million Meals: $950,000
Capital improvements: $11.8 million1 Shelter staff: $3,500,000 (salaries + benefits)

FISCAL IMPACT
The total annual operating expenses for the proposed facility would be approximately $4.8
million, compared to the $3.3 million included in the FY27 City Manager’s recommended budget
for family shelter operating expenses. The net fiscal impact of this project would be $1.5 million
annually.
The estimated fiscal impact of this project assumes the following:
● 100% guest occupancy beginning in FY284
● Debt service on a $10 million bond issuance, to fund immediate capital improvements
(approximately $890,000 annually for a 20-year term)
● An additional $4 million would be identified to fully fund capital improvements. Funding
could come from one or a combination of the following sources:
1. Private donations,
2. Grant funds not already included in the FY26 budget or FY27 City Manager’s
recommended budget,
3. Reallocated capital funds from other approved projects, and/or
4. Surplus unassigned fund balance (if available).
These estimates do not include General Assistance revenue estimates.
CONCLUSION(S)
Relocating family shelter operations to 353 Cumberland Avenue presents an opportunity to
improve service delivery in a facility better suited for long-term use. The project would, however,
require a significant capital investment, as well as significant additional and ongoing operating
expenses. The information provided is intended to support the Committee’s consideration of next
steps.

Re: Status of Riverton Pool Reconstruction Project
MEETING DATE
5/7/2026
AGENDA ITEM
Additional Capital Needs - Riverton Pool Reconstruction Project
PURPOSE
The memorandum informs the City Council of the status of the Riverton Pool Reconstruction Project,
and seeks guidance on how to address project cost overruns resulting from unforeseen issues.
COMMITTEE WORK PLAN/CITY COUNCIL GOAL ALIGNMENT
N/A
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
Timeline and Current Project Status
Riverton Pool has been closed since April 2023 due to mechanical and structural failures. While Phase I
(repairing the deep-end pool wall) is complete, the broader renovation has hit significant hurdles.
● April 2023: The pool was closed following mechanical failures and significant structural issues.
● September 2023 – January 2024: A comprehensive structural assessment was performed on the
Headwall Structure to determine the extent of rebar and concrete deterioration.
● March 2024: The Portland City Council officially approved funding for the pool repair project.
● April 2024 – October 2024: Design work commenced for the mechanical room. On-site work
during this time focused on removing the gutter system, clearing loose concrete, and prepping
the deep-end support wall for repair.
● Late 2024: Phase I was completed, successfully restoring the structural integrity of the
deep-end pool wall and adding new steel framing for equipment access.
● February 2025: The City entered into a contract with Doten’s Construction for Phase II.
○ Scope of Work: This phase was designed to include:
1
Page 6
■ Installation of new filtration and pump systems.
■ Modification of the pool floor to reduce slope to meet state safety requirements.
■ Full replacement of the gutter system and wall tiling.
● July 2025: Concrete coring for diving platforms and gutter demolition were finalized.
● August – October 2025: Additional unforeseen structural issues were discovered, including
collapsed and corroded deck drains, necessitating a scope expansion to replace the surrounding
concrete slab.
● September 2025: A grounding dispute began when the contractor's electrician reported 82 rebar
locations failed to show electrical continuity.
● November 25, 2025: The City formally issued a stop-work order to investigate the grounding
safety concerns.
● March 2026: A "bonding verification" process was initiated, requiring the deconstruction of
concrete to expose rebar for forensic testing.
● April 6, 2026: Final testing by specialized consultants proved the original grounding system
was intact, confirming the project could safely proceed.
Next Steps
Continuing the project will cost additional and significant funds. The rough cost estimate at this time
is $1.5 million annually. In the absence of a more detailed pre-bid estimate, staff recommend that the
Council consider allocating $1.6 million in the event the cost exceeds this estimate.
If there is interest in continuing to pursue this project, the following options exist:
1. Issue $1.6M in additional bonds to complete the project. Staff recommend this approach, as it
offers the fastest timeline for reopening the pool (remaining construction work is expected to
take approximately eight months, following issuance of bonds). Under this option, the pool
could reopen as early as Spring of 2027. This option would add an estimated $145k in annual
debt service to the City’s operating budget, for 20 years, beginning in FY28.
2. Allocate the required funds through the FY28 CIP process. Pending FY28 CIP approval would
occur in spring 2027, construction would then likely begin in summer 2027, and the pool could
reopen as soon as winter 2028.
Reallocate funds from an existing CIP Project. Staff do not recommend this option as it will defer
and/or delay funding for at least one other much-needed project.
Total Approved $2,979,000 Combination of various approved CIP accounts and
Funding operating funds
Paid to Date $1,513,000 Headwall complete, demolition complete, materials
purchased
Remaining Funds $1,464,000 These funds were encumbered to the existing contract
which has been terminated
Additional Funds $1,600,000 In addition to the $1,464,000 in-hand, the project requires an
Required additional estimated $1,600,000 to complete.
2
Page 7
Another option would be to suspend the project until after FY28, when the allocation of additional
capital funds could be considered through the CIP process. Alternatively, the Council could determine
that it does not want this project to be pursued further, and that the Riverton Pool should be
decommissioned. Staff do not recommend either of these options, as the pool is a valuable resource
that provides affordable, safe swimming opportunities for underserved populations, school swim
teams, people with disabilities, youth, and seniors.
FISCAL IMPACT
Based on preliminary cost estimates and assumed bond financing, the additional funding needed for
this project would add an estimated $145k in annual debt service to the City’s operating budget, for 20
years, beginning in FY28.
CONCLUSION(S)
While the Riverton Pool reconstruction project has encountered significant and costly unforeseen
challenges, the core structural and safety concerns have now been resolved. To complete the project
and restore this important community asset, the City will need to commit up to an additional $1.6
million and determine a preferred funding strategy, with bonding offering the most expedient
timeline. Staff seek Committee guidance on whether and how to proceed so that the project can move
toward completion and the pool can reopen as soon as practicable.

FY27 City Manager’s
Recommended Budget
Presentation to Finance Committee - April 16, 2026
Page 9
Budgeting 101 - Definitions
The City of Portland Budget is a fiscal plan setting out
anticipated revenues and expenditures for accomplishing City
services over the course of our fiscal year (which runs each
July 1st through June 30th). Setting an annual operating
budget is required by the City Charter.
The City budget includes both the general fund and several
enterprise funds.
Page 10
Budgeting 101 - Definitions
The general fund is the largest of the City's funds and includes
funding for basic municipal services such as public safety,
health and human services, and public works. The general
fund is supported by property taxes and a variety of other
sources including excise taxes, licenses and permits, State of
Maine revenue sharing and general assistance reimbursement,
charges for services from City Departments and more.
The FY27 City Manager’s Recommended general fund
operating budget is $278.5M. This is a $6.6M reduction from
FY26, approximately a 2.3% decrease.
Page 11
Budgeting 101 - Definitions
The enterprise funds are self supporting funds that rely on
their own revenues to support their expenditures. They do not
utilize any property tax revenue to support their operations.
The City currently has four enterprise funds totaling $85.4M:
● Jetport Enterprise Fund ($39.6M)
● Sewer Enterprise Fund ($35.2M)
● Stormwater Enterprise Fund ($8.8M)
● Fish Pier Enterprise Fund ($1.8M)
Page 12
Tax Levy vs Tax Rate
TAX LEVY: The City Council sets the tax levy during budget
approval, not the tax rate. The City tax levy is the amount of
property taxes required to be collected from Portland property
taxpayers to fund municipal operations.
TAX RATE (aka MILL RATE): The City Assessor uses the
property tax levy approved by the City Council and divides it
by the total taxable valuation of the City to come up with the
final tax rate (also known as the mill rate or the millage rate)
per $1000 of assessed value. The tax commitment and rate
setting process usually does not occur until midsummer.
Tax rates shown during the budget process are ESTIMATES.
Page 13
Tax Rates: Difficult to Predict
The tax levy increase (5% for FY27) is typically HIGHER than the
tax rate increase (currently ESTIMATED at 4.2%). As new
property is built in the City, the total property tax levy is spread
across a larger base of property taxpayers.
Tax rates shown in the budget process are ESTIMATES due to a
number of factors:
● Assessed values are as of April 1 of each year.
● Property owners may appeal their valuations and appeals may
stretch until much later in the calendar year.
● Final City mill rate is not set until the tax committment is
completed and filed with State in late summer of each year.
Page 14
Revaluation: Does not raise tax levy
One important thing to note - although the revaluation is expected to
result in a City-wide increase in home values, IT DOES NOT RAISE
ADDITIONAL PROPERTY TAX REVENUE. It simply distributes the
existing approved tax levy more equitably across all property
taxpayers. Although assessed valuations will rise, there will be a
corresponding reduction the tax rate, resulting in the same amount of
overall tax levy to be collected.
Although FY27 is not a revaluation year, the City does plan to update
values again in FY28 to ensure equity across all property taxpayers.
Page 15
Tax Rate: What is City/School Breakdown?
The City of Portland committed tax rate for FY26 is $11.98 and the
breakdown is not split evenly between the City / Schools.
Page 16
Budgeting 101 - Median Assessed Home Value
We typically present the impact of each budget proposal on the
median homeowner in Portland. What does this mean?
The median is the value separating the higher half of a data sample,
a population, or a probability distribution, from the lower half. In
simple terms, it may be thought of as the "middle" value of a data
set. For example, in the data set {1, 3, 3, 6, 7, 8, 9}, the median is 6,
the fourth number in the sample. The median is a commonly used
measure of the properties of a data set in statistics and probability
theory.
The median home value is the median assessed value of single
family homes in Portland is estimated to be $540,000 for FY27.
Page 17
City of Portland Budgeting 101 - Revenues
The City of Portland budget is funded by a variety of revenue
sources. Portland’s budget is one of the most diverse budgets
in New England and is 56.3% funded by non-property tax
revenue sources.
The FY27 budget includes total revenues of $278.5M, total
estimated non-property tax revenues of $156.8M, and a
required municipal property tax levy of $121.7M.

City of Portland Budgeting 101 - Fund Balance
Fund Balance Use / Restoration - Although we typically reserve fund
balance use for one time expenditures (such as those included
within the Capital Improvement Plan budget), we have in recent
years begun using fund balance to close budget gaps.
Fund balance is only recommended for use when we have a surplus
fund balance (i.e. a balance above our stated fund balance policy
thresholds) and typically in situations where the use of fund
balance is not expected to continue for multiple fiscal years.
The amount of fund balance being currently recommended for use
within the FY27 City Manager’s Recommended Budget is $4M. This
is part of a multi-year plan to return to only nominal fund balance
use within the operating budget.

Re: City Manager’s FY27 Recommended Budget
Pursuant to Article VI, Section 5(e) and Article VII, Sections 5 and 6 of the City of Portland Charter, I am
hereby submitting the City Manager’s Recommended $363.9M Fiscal Year 2027 (FY27) Municipal
Operating Budget. This was an extremely difficult budget to formulate within City Council guidance
given the increasing costs of goods, services, and labor, heightened funding uncertainty at the state
and federal levels, and rapidly rising health insurance costs.
In January, we began the budget process with discussions with the Council and Finance Committee to
set shared expectations for the upcoming fiscal year. The Council was briefed on the many challenges
facing the City in FY27, most notably a significant increase in the cost of employee health insurance, a
large increase in the tax levied by Cumberland County, a reduction in projected State revenue sharing,
and a continued rise in the cost of employee salaries and wages. Councilors indicated that in spite of
these challenges, they hoped to limit the impact to property taxpayers and not trigger cuts to longtime
core City services. Six of the nine Council members weighed in with specific budget guidance seeking
to limit the tax rate increase to between 5-7%.
When Department leaders submitted their budget requests this year, however, their initial requests
resulted in a proposed tax levy increase of approximately $22.5M (or 19% tax rate increase). When
combined with the non-department expense items mentioned above, that increase grew to over $24M
(or 21%). In order to achieve the Council’s recommended tax rate increase, we had to work with
Departments to reduce FY27 their budget requests by approximately $18M in total.
I truly appreciate the work Department leaders did to reduce their requests despite the need and
importance of the services they provide. They presented me with many options including, but not
limited to, position cuts and not filling vacancies, delaying expenses to future fiscal years, and raising
and expanding various fees. After much thought and discussion, and with an eye toward maintaining
City core services, we selected several proposed options in order to reduce the proposed tax levy
increase. The most notable of these being the reduction of 74.3 FTE’s from the general fund budget.
Although many of these positions are vacant, others were layoffs resulting from the wind down of
shelter operations at 166 Riverside Industrial Parkway. We also added or increased fees in a number of
Departments including Fire, Health & Human Services, Parking, Parks, Recreation & Facilities,
Planning & Urban Development, Permitting & Inspections, and more.
We additionally had to make several changes to our health insurance plan in order to help control the
rising costs. As mentioned above, at the beginning of this process we were faced with an over 30%
estimated increase in health insurance costs, which the City pays on behalf of its employees. We have
set to work at that time to reduce the City’s health insurance expenses. We were able to accomplish that
goal by eliminating coverage for GLP1s for weight loss and increasing premiums. We also plan to
protect the City moving forward by purchasing stop-loss insurance, which will limit our liability for
very large high-cost health insurance claims within our plan that we struggled to address this past
fiscal year.

We have been continuing to work with our lobbyists, the State Delegation, and the City’s Legislative
Committee to address the City’s costs related to General Assistance (GA) reimbursement funding.
While Portland takes its state mandated GA obligation very seriously, data shows that we continue to
serve more people from across the State, and out of the State, than people who are from Portland. Due
to this, we continue to advocate for increases in reimbursement and the cost-sharing model between
the state and municipalities.
We also continue to work with the Council regarding how we operate and fund our emergency shelter
services. This year’s budget includes the elimination of the emergency shelter we operated at 166
Riverside Industrial Parkway (based on Council guidance this service ended effective early April 2026)
for single asylum seekers, as well as a reduction in costs related to our Family Shelter operation. Both
of these items are related to the decrease in the need for such services due to the pace of asylum seeker
arrivals slowing significantly.
Thanks to the Council including funds in the FY26 budget, we conducted a community survey in late
2025 that provided an opportunity for Portland residents to share their feedback and insights
regarding the programs and services provided by the City. The purpose of this survey was to
objectively assess and collect opinions and feedback on City programs, services, and long-term
investments; to support decision making that reflects community priorities; and to establish a
benchmark to measure ongoing progress.
High levels of satisfaction were reported by residents regarding core operational services, such as
public safety, solid waste services, and customer service from City employees. These results directly
underscore the importance and effective allocation of current budget funds supporting these
functions. The survey results confirmed that the community perceives these essential services as clear
strengths of City operations. This positive feedback validates the continued budgetary commitment to
maintaining and enhancing the quality of these foundational operations, ensuring resources are
directed toward services that consistently meet resident expectations and contribute to a high quality
of life within Portland. Because of this, you will see maintenance of core services and many of the
Council’s goals reflected and addressed in the FY27 recommended budget.
While I was pleased to see the high levels of satisfaction with City services, 75% of respondents did
express dissatisfaction with the affordability of living in Portland, and so it was very important for me
to bring forward a fiscally responsible budget recommendation within the Council’s guidance.
Overall, it was incredibly difficult to close the budget gap described above. This is despite our best
efforts to make revisions to Department requested budget proposals, set aside new requests, account
for savings from staff vacancies, increase revenue projections, and recommend fee increases. In fact, in
order to meet all of the components of the Council guidance, the budget I’m bringing forward
recommends the use of $4M in unassigned fund balance to bring the FY27 tax levy to $121,722,845 or
an approximately 5% tax levy increase.
When factoring in an estimated increase in the local assessed valuation of $150,000,000 in growth, the
impact to the City portion of the projected FY27 tax rate is 24 cents or an approximately 4.2% tax rate
increase. At this time, the estimated impact of this increase on an average homeowner with a median
property valued at $540,000 would result in an additional $130 in annual property taxes.1

It is important to note that the final tax rate increase will not be known until the Assessor’s Office
completes its assessment work and finalizes the tax commitment in late summer 2026.

FY27 DEPARTMENTS AND BUDGET HIGHLIGHTS OF NOTE
Total general fund spending for FY27 is budgeted to decrease by $8.5M or approximately 3.1% (before
consideration of County Tax and METRO Assessment). Inclusive of increases in County Tax and
METRO, total general fund and assessment spending is budgeted to decrease by $6.5M or 2.3%.
The following are some Departmental budget highlights of note:
Employee Benefits: The single biggest budget challenge of FY27 was the significant increase in the
cost of our employer funded health insurance. The core cost of the services has risen significantly. The
City has also been successful in filling vacant positions, increasing the number of employees and
family members on the plan. Although we are limited in the ways we can influence health plan costs,
we have made a number of changes which have reduced the total increase in this budget. In total, costs
of employee benefits (including retirement contributions) is projected to rise by $6.6M in FY27.
County Tax: For FY27, Cumberland County has informed the City that taxes will be rising by over
$1.3M (14.5%) and will be nearly $10.4M for FY27. This represents approximately 25% of the total
municipal tax levy increase in the current fiscal year.
City Clerk: The City Clerk budget for FY27 includes the anticipated minimum wage increases from the
citizen initiated minimum wage referendum. It also includes new software for clean elections funds
tracking, as required by voter approved changes to the City’s Charter. Overall, the budget is increasing
by $144k (16.7%) for FY27.
City Council: The City Council’s budget for FY26 included several one time expenditures that are not
being carried forward into FY27. As a result, the budget is decreasing by approximately $158k.
Parking: The Parking Division budget includes increases in fees and expanded hours of operation for
FY27. Most notably, the parking meters will be enforced for an additional hour Monday through
Saturday from 6PM to 7PM.2 Additionally, the City will begin limited hours of enforcement on Sundays
from 10AM to 4PM. One additional staff member will be needed for this effort.
Police: The Police Department budget for FY27 reflects the elimination of a number of vacant officer
positions. This elimination includes assumptions about how many officers we will realistically be able
to hire in the upcoming year. The budget includes a $3.7M increase in funding overall (18.4%) resulting
from the last City Council approved collective bargaining agreement.
Dispatch: The dispatch budget for FY27 reflects a $313k increase (approximately 6.8%). For many
years, dispatch employees were employed by both Portland and South Portland. The +1FTE reflected in
FY27’s budget reflects finalization of the plan to have all Dispatch employees within Portland’s budget.
Costs are split between the two communities based on census so there is no significant new cost as a
result of this shift.
Health & Human Services (HHS): As determined by the Council in early 2026, we have wound down
shelter operations at 166 Riverside Industrial Parkway effective in early April 2026 as asylum seeker
arrivals have significantly slowed. As a result, this budget reflects significant reductions in staffing
levels and expenses within HHS. The HHS budget also includes minor eliminations of vacant positions
at the Barron Center due to lower than anticipated patient census, and changes in staffing within
Public Health related to expiration of grants. Overall, HHS’s budgeted spending is decreasing by 8.6%
or $4.4M for FY27
Portland Public Library: The Portland Public Library budget is rising to approximately $5.4M for FY27.
In line with City Council guidance, their increase has been limited to 5%.

Downtown Portland workers are encouraged to take advantage of the Portland Downtown District’s Park
and Work Program and/or use public transportation whenever possible.

Page 46
Debt Service: The Debt Service budget is decreasing by $20.9M due to pending expiration of the
pension obligation bonds on June 1, 2026. However, the majority of this decrease is not having an
impact on the tax rate, as there is also a year over year reduction in the use of debt service reserve and
fund balance of approximately $11M, and a loss in debt service reimbursement from the School
Department and the Enterprise Funds related to their portion of pension obligation bond debt service.
METRO: As described to the Council in the late fall and mentioned above, the METRO budget included
a nearly $600k increase in assessment to Portland (20%) due to their expansion of service levels with
Federal funds which are set to expire over the next 18 months. Council was supportive of continuing to
fund these service levels with taxpayer dollars in FY27.
FY26 RECAP
Despite continued staff vacancies across City departments, City staff did amazing things in FY26 with
the resources they had available. I am continually amazed and proud of all the work they do on a daily
basis. Since a municipality’s budget is the primary policy document reflecting the Council’s and our
community’s priorities for the year, I feel it’s important for my budget letter to include key highlights
(as outlined below) from several of our departments for FY26. This is one communication tool that we
use to inform our residents and taxpayers about the services the City provides.
During the calendar year 2025, the City’s Social Services Division successfully transitioned 682
individuals from homelessness into permanent housing. Our Project HOPE (Housing Opportunities for
People in Encampments) and Resettlement program housed 160 individuals directly without ever
needing to enter the shelter system. For those requiring immediate stabilization, the City maintained
583 year-round beds across three facilities: the Homeless Services Center (HSC), the Family Shelter, and
166 Riverside. Together, these sites served 1,641 individuals, providing 164,883 bed nights (representing
over 451 years of homelessness). These shelters focused on comprehensive wrap-around services to
connect guests with healthcare and long-term supportive housing. Social Services also assumed direct
operation of the 2025-2026 emergency warming shelter. This move increased capacity by 60 guests
during extreme weather events, ultimately serving an additional 382 individuals.
Over the past year, the Public Health Division continued its efforts to provide essential services,
strengthen community health and safety, and respond to the evolving public health needs of the
community. Staff distributed 31,916 Naloxone doses and other harm reduction supplies directly to
clients and through organizational partners across Cumberland and York counties. The availability of
naloxone has been a driving factor in Maine's declining overdose fatalities. Clients reported 857
community overdose reversals (Naloxone was administered by someone other than a first responder,
resulting in a non-fatality) and a 31% decrease in non-fatal overdoses was tracked across Cumberland
County. With Opioid Settlement Funding, a Syringe Redemption Project increased the return rate of
syringe waste to the city-run Syringe Services Program by 22%, bringing the total return rate to 86%.
Staff are proud of the work to reduce overdose deaths and the risks of drug use. Additionally, patient
navigators made 4,516 referrals to connect clients with medical care, case management, substance use
treatment, and recovery services. Through the clinical programs, staff delivered free and low-cost
services to connect patients with essential services. Most common program engagement by patients
included: Immunization (2,866), Portland Community Free Clinic (215), Maternal & Child Health (97),
and STD Clinic (860). Patients are not necessarily unique as some see multiple services. Additional
highlights include: 101 patients receiving free optometry consults and eyewear through a short-term
grant; 110 patients utilizing DoxyPEP upon its introduction to the STD Clinic; and expanding
vaccination availability and reducing barriers to access by offering a walk-in vaccination clinic twice
every week.
The Barron Center, committed to being the preferred nursing provider for long-term and/or
rehabilitative care, received a 4-star rating from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. In the
2025 calendar year, they served 193 unique residents with a combined 40,246 bed nights (~equivalent
to over 110 years). A major highlight this year was the introduction of the Lucynt Machine, an
innovative tool that uses light and motion to physically and cognitively engage residents in a way that
389 Congress Street, Portland, Maine 04101 | 207-874-8689 | citymanager@portlandmaine.gov

Page 47
feels like play. Additionally, while still recovering from staffing declines that occurred during the Covid
pandemic, the Barron Center achieved a lower nursing turnover rate, outperforming 77% of skilled
nursing facilities nationwide.
The Office of Elder Affairs achieved significant success in 2025 by hosting its Age-Friendly Portland
summit for Portland's older residents. Other service accomplishments included: 455 patients receiving
care through their senior outreach nursing program, specifically designed for low-income seniors who
don't qualify for other in-home care; connecting 132 volunteers and 121 households participating in the
volunteer snow shoveling program to ensure safe, accessible paths and driveways, thereby supporting
continued independence at home; and 69 adult day program clients, many with cognitive and physical
health conditions, receiving 16,222 service hours of programming, offering essential respite for their
caregivers.
Our Parks, Recreation and Facilities Department is the proud steward of our parks, open spaces, and
public facilities. The budget supports the beautification and enjoyment of the city through the Parks
Division, which oversees planting of 200 trees annually, perennial plants, tulip beds, urban meadows
and orchards, oversight of eight miles of multi-use bike paths, and basic maintenance of our 67 parks
and open spaces spread over 1,400 acres. We added an additional Park Project Manager position to help
us better plan and execute capital improvements to our park system, ranging from court lighting
projects and ADA accessibility projects to new courts, athletic fields, tree planting projects, and 30 city
and school playgrounds. The project managers apply for grants and alternative funding sources, and
work to quickly complete approved CIP and CDBG projects throughout the city. We also funded a third
full time Park Ranger position to focus on park safety and cleanliness, as well as leading nature and
history-based programming for all age groups in our park system.
The Recreation division supports recreational activities for the community such as the Before and
After School Program with more than 1,000 participants, a youth basketball league with 500
participants, a Senior Adult program with over 500 participants, three city pools, and the Riverside
Golf Course. Over the last year we added four recreation program staff to allow us to offer 50 additional
before and after care slots for children.
The Public Assembly Division runs our city venues and cultural institutions such as Merrill
Auditorium, The James A. Banks, Sr. Portland Expo, Troubh Ice Arena, and Ocean Gateway. We hired a
Venue Manager for the Expo to oversee the entire facility, from event services to custodial, marketing,
and promotion, and will serve to activate and enhance the nation's oldest municipal arena.
We also continued to invest in maintenance and upkeep of our treasured public buildings, from City
Hall ventilation and efficiency projects, to access improvements at the Police Station and improved
living quarters at Fire Stations, to resilience work along our waterfront and piers.
For the Planning & Urban Development Department, 2025 included a significant level of both
development review and long-range planning activity. With respect to new housing, 1,440 units were
approved citywide, including 380 (27%) deed-restricted affordable units—the highest number of
approved housing units in the City’s recent history. Significant projects shepherded through the
planning review process included 125 Thompsons Point (255 units), 165 Washington Avenue (325
units), 61 Preble / 60 Elm Street (217 units), 9 Boyd Street (82 affordable units), and 1877 Congress Street
(78 affordable units). The City also saw 187 units from prior-year approvals completed and occupied.
Additionally, the City established a new institutional overlay zone for the University of New England’s
Portland Campus.
Long-range planning, transportation, and policy initiatives included leading and completing an update
to the City’s Complete Streets Policy, along with advancing several major efforts such as the
Reimagining Franklin Street initiative; completing the Forest Avenue redesign study to improve safety
and multimodal accessibility; commencing construction of the Union Branch pathway project;
securing a $2,120,000 Safe Streets for All grant for Brighton Avenue to support the City Council’s

Vision Zero initiative; advancing and completing updates to the City’s Hotel Inclusionary Zoning
ordinance; and initiating the City’s Inclusionary Zoning study.
The Department also launched several digital tools to enhance data capabilities, transparency, and data
quality, including the official digital zoning map; continued maintenance and enhancements to the
Housing Data Dashboard; the release of the Historic Preservation Mapper; and the recent launch of the
City’s Site Plan Application Mapper. The tools make thousands of pages of historic survey records and
photographs readily accessible to the public, allow users to easily determine whether a property is
historically designated, track data related to housing, easily understand a parcels zoning, and make
information related to site plan approvals readily accessible to the public.
Historic Preservation had another record-setting year, reviewing 600 applications. The program also
completed an update to the Historic Resource Design Manual, the first comprehensive overhaul of the
document since the early 1990s. Additional achievements included the addition of Western Cemetery
to the National Register of Historic Places and the award of three CLG grants: $3,783 to support staff
attendance at a conference, $14,332 as a pass-through to the Fifth Maine Museum, and $13,257 as a
pass-through to Mechanics’ Hall.
Our Permitting and Inspections Department continues to see its workload increase. In FY25, we saw
averages of more than 100 permits applied for each week, more than 270 inspections performed each
week, more rental units added to the City, and business licenses continuing to be applied for in vacant
storefronts. Those averages have continued through the first half of FY26.
In FY25, permitting staff processed 5,603 building permits applications, and the City’s five Building
Inspectors performed 7,316 inspections. The Business Licensing office is also consistently busy with
new businesses and renewal business license applications. In FY25, staff issued 1,525 business licenses
and performed 1,384Health Inspections. That office also issued 82 Marijuana Licenses and performed
323 Marijuana Inspections.
The Housing Safety Office is required to collect data on more than 20,000 units, staff the Rent Board,
perform housing inspections and investigate rental violations. This Office’s Housing Safety Inspectors
performed 3,531 inspections in FY25. The Rental Registration Inspectors conducted inspections on
7,657 during the 2025 Calendar Year. These account for 654 complaints and 7,003 proactive inspections.
Staff issued Long Term licenses for 19,673 units. They also issued 917 Short-Term Rental unit licenses.
Our Public Works Department continues to keep our city clean and moving. The Water Resources
division maintains 200 miles of sewer lines and 100 miles of storm water lines; 4,400 catch basins;
several thousand sewer and storm water manholes, and 500 lane miles of street sweeping. This
division also completed the construction of the Back Cove South Storage Conduit in 2025; the sewer
separation project on Hersey Street began, and when completed it will include pedestrian safety
elements. Water Resources also continues to line aging sewer infrastructure to extend the life of aging
sewer lines around the city. The Streets & Sidewalks team provides maintenance and repair of 500 lane
miles of streets and 200 miles of sidewalks including patching, rebuilding and roadside maintenance.
The Winter Operations team provides all plowing, snow removal and winter road maintenance to 500
lane miles of Portland streets. The Traffic team provides maintenance and repair of 130 signalized
intersections, 6,400 street lights, citywide lane striping, crosswalk painting, and in-house street sign
production and installation. The Solid Waste crew provides weekly trash and recycling service to
21,000 customers located on the mainland and all of Portland’s island communities, services for 250
public property barrels daily, dumpster trash removal services for city buildings, as well as yearly yard
waste, leaf, and tree collections. The Engineering team has 25 projects with MaineDOT in various
stages of development, seven FEMA-funded projects either under construction or in design, as well as
the annual local street and sidewalk paving projects.
Our Transportation Engineering team continues to work on a number of transportation safety and
calming projects, in addition to many of the components outlined in our Vision Zero Action Plan,
which the Council adopted in August of 2025 to improve pedestrian safety and reduce fatalities. In

2025, the City modernized its complete streets policy, transforming a long-standing vision into a data
driven accountability framework. The policy mandates regular reporting on key performance
indicators, ensuring that our commitment to safety, equity, and accessibility is backed by measurable
action. Significant complete streets construction also occurred in 2025 with the addition of 1.3 miles of
new bike lanes, 1.5 miles of new and improved sidewalks, seven new crosswalks, five new pairs of
rectangular rapid flashing beacon signals to improve pedestrian access, and one new transit shelter.
Portland’s local small businesses are the backbone of our economy, contributing to the City’s
authenticity and character. More than 90% of the businesses in Portland have less than 20 employees.
Portland’s local businesses have faced challenges in recent years stemming from systemic impacts
from the pandemic, as well as broader macroeconomic factors such as inflation, tariffs, and a tight
labor market. The Portland Development Corporation (PDC), staffed by the Housing and Economic
Development Department (HEDD), supports Portland’s businesses with a variety of grant and loan
programs that encourage job creation, business retention and expansion, and sustained economic
development. The past six months have seen a focused effort to support economic vitality in the
downtown district to encourage storefront activations, including the creation of a new interest-free
loan product for storefront improvements. So far in FY 2026, the PDC provided two such loans for a
combined $28,000 to two businesses on Congress Street, and expects to see continued demand
through the rest of the fiscal year for this product. The PDC also provided nine commercial loans to
date in FY2026 totaling $705,000. Of these, seven loans were to startup businesses, and two enabled
long time employees to purchase and expand existing businesses (Tony’s Donuts and Health
Resonates). The PDC’s financing programs are critical to supporting local businesses and creating
economic vitality.
American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds allocated by the City Council to the child care approved use
category were utilized to offer grants to aspiring daycare providers and existing centers to open or
expand, adding much-needed daycare slot openings to Portland. More than 100 new slots for care have
been documented. ARPA funding is also supporting the Childcare Voucher Collaborative, a program
that provides scholarships to low-income families to help with the costs of childcare while they are
temporarily ineligible for the State of Maine’s Child Care Affordability Program (CCAP).
HEDD also administers the Brownfields Program, which provides funding for assessment and cleanup
of environmentally contaminated properties to facilitate redevelopment. The City's Brownfields
Assessment Fund and Revolving Loan Fund are important tools available to support land revitalization
in Portland. In FY26, the City received additional Brownfields Grant Funding from the United States
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for assessment work in the amount of $500,000, and $800,00
in grant funds to recapitalize the City Brownfields Revolving Loan/Grant Fund for clean-up work.
These funds have been, and will continue to be, used to assess and remediate contamination at several
sites in the city, catalyzing projects that benefit Portland’s residents and businesses. Since the start of
FY26, the City provided $1.35 million in grants to non-profit developers, including the Portland
Housing Authority, Youth and Family Outreach, and Community Housing of Maine. The City also
provided a $750,000 Brownfields loan to support cleanup at the redevelopment project at 465 Congress
Street.
Housing availability and affordability continue to be a focus of the Council’s Housing and Economic
Development Committee (HEDC) and City officials. The HEDC recently approved the release of the
2026 Affordable Housing Development and Tax Increment Financing (TIF) Application, drafted by
HEDD staff. The application will make available an estimated $270,198 in HOME funding and $1,989,361
in Jill C. Duson Housing Trust funds for investment in affordable housing, together with access to the
City’s Affordable Housing TIF Program. In 2025, the City Council approved the use of development
financing and tax increment financing for five projects that, when completed, will create 230 new
units of affordable rental housing, 10 new market rate rental units and eight new homeownership units
affordable at 120% AMI. Several projects financed by the City in previous years have recently been
completed and are now occupied by tenants or new homeowners, including condominium units and
rental units on two phases of the Dougherty Commons development.

The HEDD also is a steward of the waterfront as the City is a major contributor to its economic vitality
with ownership of the Portland Fish Pier, Portland Ocean Terminal/Maine State Pier, and Ocean
Gateway. Construction of the Confined Aquatic Disposal (CAD) Cell was completed in March 2025,
followed by dredging from December 2025 to April 2026 that removed over 45,000 cubic yards of
sediment from the Portland Harbor. Over 10,000 linear feet of berthing has now been deepened and
restored. Dredging efforts will resume in November 2026 for a final season.
The Portland Police Department answered a total of 72,926 calls for service in 2025, despite being
down more than 20 officers. Over the last several months, the Department worked to hire a team of
Urban Rangers to work collaboratively with police officers, park rangers, and city businesses to ensure
that downtown public areas remain accessible, welcoming, and well-maintained for all residents and
visitors. This group will serve as a uniformed, non-law-enforcement presence with a focus on building
positive relationships, supporting safe public spaces, and protecting community resources. The
Department also received an overall satisfaction rating of 72% in the 2025 community survey, notably
higher than the national average of 58.8%. Additionally, 71% of respondents indicated their level of
trust in the department was either high or somewhat high. The Department outperformed national
benchmarks in several key areas, including the quality of local police services (60.6% compared to 49%
nationally), response times (61.7% compared to 51.7%), and community programs and outreach (45.9%
compared to 42.1%). The Police Department’s Traffic team also plays a key role in our Vision Zero
efforts.
The Fire Department continued to be productive and busy in 2025. The Department has been
fortunate to stay fully staffed with 15 new employees entering the department over the last year. The
Department’s workload continues to increase with calls for service rising 2-3% a year, and the
handling of roughly 50-60 emergency calls each day. The Department has seen several cardiac arrest
saves with our recent rate of patients walking out of the hospital without deficits nearly 20%, while the
national average is below 10%. The Mobile Medical Outreach program, a community based medical
and social service effort for unsheltered residents, continues to expand and with assistance to our most
vulnerable citizens. MMO is managed collectively by the Fire Department and the City’s Public Health
division.
The Portland International Jetport continued its strong passenger growth in 2025 serving an all-time
record 2.59 million total passengers, which was up 6.3% over the prior year. This was driven by seven
consecutive all-time record months for passenger volumes, from April through October 2025. Seven
airlines currently serve the Jetport. Year-round service is provided by American, Breeze, Delta, JetBlue,
Southwest, and United; and seasonal service is provided by Sun Country. The Jetport remains a
substantial economic driver for the region. The Maine State Aviation System Plan noted that the
Jetport provides an economic benefit to the state of $1.175 billion, supporting over 10,000 jobs, and
providing state and local tax revenues of $86.5 million.
The Jetport continued its long standing industry recognition for exceptional customer service
receiving the 2025 Airports Council International's Best Airport at Departures of Two to Five Million
Passengers in North America, Most Dedicated Staff in North America, and Easiest Airport Journey in
North America. This is consistent with the 2025 City of Portland Community Survey, which found 84%
of respondents were "very satisfied" and "satisfied" with the ease of using the Jetport. Additionally, the
Jetport recently saw its rating from S&P Global raised to "A" from "A-" on declining debt, steady
passenger growth, and consistent demand for air travel in the Portland metropolitan area.
In FY26, programming in the Sustainability Office emphasized building community resilience. Our
Sustainable Neighborhoods Mini-Grant program allowed neighborhood organizations or groups of
neighbors to apply for up to $500 to help fund an event or project that would build connections among
those who live near them. We awarded 30 grants that supported actions in neighborhoods across the
city, including two on Peaks Island. Funded actions included a community dinner for residents of three
apartment buildings in the West End, a community gardening project on Rowe Avenue, a pet parade on
the Bayside Trail, a collaborative project to mend clothes, and a neighborhood Halloween dance party.
During the grant period from October 1 to December 31, more than 1,000 residents participated in a

mini-grant funded project and we are pleased to learn several projects continue as regular events in
their neighborhood. To build on this success, the Sustainability team hosted a Neighborhood Leaders
Summit inviting nearly 70 informal community leaders to exchange their work and discuss how social
connections make our neighborhoods more resilient.
The second round of our Electrify Bikes! incentives helped 30 income-eligible Portland residents
purchase an e-bike. Combining both rounds of incentives, this program has enabled 100 residents to
acquire a reliable, carbon free vehicle that may not have been accessible to them otherwise. It also
supported Portland's economy by partnering with local bike shops who can also help program
participants maintain their e-bikes.
Sustainability staff also implemented the Resilience Education Project, which highlights how
Portland’s built and natural infrastructure contributes to our city’s resilience to climate change.
Colorful signs placed near important infrastructure offer quick facts and QR codes leading to a detailed
story map; the map explains how specific infrastructure mitigates flooding and heat, while assets like
pools and playgrounds bolster social resilience. Examples of all of the signs are currently on display
near the Myrtle Street entrance of City Hall.
This small but mighty team also conducted several projects to educate people about sustainable
landcare practices in alignment with Portland’s landcare ordinance. This included the Landcare
Lunchbreak series that featured webinars about removing introduced plants without the use of
pesticides, selecting plants that provide food and habitat for pollinators, and avoiding introduced
plants that do not provide food or habitat.
CONCLUSION
I would like to thank Finance Director Brendan O’Connell, Deputy Finance Director Anne Bilodeau,
Budget Manager Sasha Pavlak, Assistant City Managers Greg Jordan and Dena Libner, Human
Resources Director Anne Torregrossa, and Communications Director Jessica Grondin for their
assistance in developing this budget recommendation and presentation, and recognize the hard work
and diligence of all of the Department Directors and their staff in developing their budget requests.
I’d also like to thank all City employees for all the work they’ve done in helping us address some
extremely complex issues over this last year, as well as the exemplary municipal services they continue
to provide each and every day. I’m proud of how we all worked together to keep our community strong.
Finally, I’d like to thank the Council for advising us on your priorities and working collaboratively as
we prepared and now review this recommended budget in more detail in the weeks ahead.
Sincerely,
Danielle P. West

FY27 Budget
Frequently Asked Questions and Answers
During the past several months and budget cycles, the City has fielded many questions from residents of the
city and members of the City Council in regards to the annual budget process. Many of these questions have
come up repeatedly via phone, email and in person over the years. This memo is intended to summarize
responses to many of the frequently asked questions (“FAQ”). This document will be updated as the FY27
budget process progresses with responses to any new frequently asked questions from the Finance
Committee, City Council, and public.
Question 1: What is the breakdown of the tax rate between City and School operations? Is it 50/50
between the City and Schools? (updated 4/16/26)
The City of Portland committed tax rate for FY26 is $11.98 and the breakdown is not 50/50. The City tax rate
was $5.71 (43.9% of committed tax rate), the County tax rate was $0.45 (3.8% of committed tax rate) and the
Portland Public Schools tax rate was $6.27 (52.3% of committed tax rate). This is projected to change
slightly in FY27, as noted in the chart below.
FY26 (Final) FY27 (Estimated)
Rate % Of Rate % Of
Total Total
School 6.27 52.3% 6.63 52.7%
City 5.26 43.9% 5.44 43.2%
County 0.45 3.8% 0.51 4.1%
TOTAL 11.98 100% 12.58 100%
Question 2: Can you provide additional information regarding impacts of changes to the combined tax
rate / mill rate? For example, what amount of increase to the tax levy (in dollars) is equivalent to a 1%
increase? (updated 4/16/26)
The FY27 estimated mill rate for the City is $12.58 based on a total tax levy of $257,164,091. Based on this
amount and an FY27 estimated local assessed valuation of $20,447,000,000:
1
Page 229
Finance Department
Brendan O’Connell
Finance Director
May 3, 2026
- For every $2,571,640 of tax levy increase the tax rate would increase by 1%
- For every $204,470 of increase to the tax levy the tax rate would increase by $0.01.
- For every $0.01 of increase to the tax rate, the median homeowner pays an additional $5.40 in annual taxes
The final valuation and mill rate will not be known until summer 2026 once the tax commitment has been
finalized. Amounts shown during the budget process are ESTIMATES.
Question 3: What external organizations receive funding as part of the annual operating budget?
(updated 4/16/26)
The organizations listed below receive significant annual funding as part of the annual operating budget.
We have added detail of each organization and the amount of expenditure below. The list does not include
organizations which are under contract for provision of core services within our City Departments (aka
vendors).
Cumberland County assessed an FY27 tax of $10,395,163 to the City of Portland. This is a $1.3M increase
from FY26 to FY27 (14.5%) and is approximately 25% of the total 24 cent increase within the FY27 City
Manager’s recommended budget. The City has very limited control over the amount that is assessed by the
County and receives very few services in return. It is worth noting that the State of Maine legislature
passed a bill which would provide approximately $4M in funding to County jails across the state. If this
funding was distributed per capita and used to reduce reliance on taxpayer support, it could reduce
Portland’s County Tax assessment by approximately $160,000. However, the bill has not yet been signed by
Governor Mills and funding distributions are still to be determined.
The Portland Public Library is receiving $5,393,315 in FY27 recommended funding. This is a 5% increase
from the prior year The Portland Public Library is a component unit of the City. A component unit is a
legally separate entity for which a primary government is financially accountable. It serves as a unit of
accounting definition, ensuring comprehensive financial reporting. The Portland Public Library funding
represents approximately 4.4% of the overall municipal portion of the tax rate and is shown separately
within the City budget overall.
Greater Portland METRO: In October 2025, Metro’s Board of Directors unanimously approved the 2025
budget and municipal assessments. The City has 30 days to reject the METRO budget, but this does not
typically occur since the City has 5 seats on the METRO Board. Acceptance of the annual METRO budget
and local assessment by the City is achieved either through formal council action (or no action at all. METRO
will receive an assessment of $3,598,380 in FY26 (an approximately 20% increase due to METRO’s desire to
continue funding enhanced bus service previously financed with one time Federal funds) and their Regional
Transportation Program is budgeted for an additional $80,000. The METRO Assessment is shown
2

separately within the City budget overall. It is worth noting that METRO has expressed an intent to increase
assessments to Portland by an additional 20-30% in FY28 as well.
Creative Portland receives $200,000 within the Housing and Economic Development budget (funded via a
contribution from the Downtown area wide TIF). When the Downtown TIF was approved, Creative Portland
was included as an eligible expense. In 2023 the City Council passed a set of amendments to the Downtown
TIF that increased the potential annual maximum Creative Portland funding to $200,000. The Creative
Portland funding is included within Housing and Economic Development.
The Memberships/Contributions Department within the City’s overall budget houses many smaller
contributions to other organizations within our Contributions budget line. The following organizations
receive funding within the Contributions budget:
Greater Portland Council of Governments (GPCOG) is budgeted for dues of $154,000 and an additional local
match request of $40,000 for a total of $194,000 in FY27 budgeted funding. The City has 1 member on
GPCOG’s 12 member Executive Committee. Membership is not required and the City could withdraw at any
time. However, continued membership is being recommended as part of the FY27 budget. Staff
recommends the City seek further budget transparency from GPCOG if future increases in City funding are
requested.
Portland Media Center is budgeted for funding of $187,000 in FY27.
Portland Harbor Commission is budgeted for funding of $87,550 in FY27. The Portland Harbor Commission
consists of five representatives charged with the responsibility of regulating navigation and commerce
within Portland Harbor. The Commission’s authority results from various private and special laws passed by
the Maine Legislature. The Commission includes two members appointed by the City of Portland, two
members appointed by the City of South Portland, and one member appointed by the Governor
representing the State of Maine. The $87,550 represents 50% of the requested municipal contributions - an
additional $87,550 was requested from South Portland for FY27.
Maine Municipal Association: The contributions budget also includes the City’s membership dues of
$93,500 for the Maine Municipal Association (MMA). MMA provides incredible value to the City across a
broad variety of areas including insurance, workers compensation, risk management, legal services, State
and Federal advocacy, trainings, and more.
Peaks Island Council: The Peaks Island Council, as established in Article IV of Chapter 9 of City Code, may
make recommendations of funds designated or appropriated by the City or received from other sources for
transportation or parking initiatives or other purposes. Their annual request is received and approved by
the Council within a standalone order each fiscal year, funding for a variety of island support items. The
funding request for FY27 remained flat at $45,000.

Question 4: The FY27 budget includes elimination of 72.3 FTE. When considering these eliminations,
how many vacancies will remain in the City budget as of July 1, 2026? (Updated 4/26/26)
According to Human Resources, based on positions eliminated in the FY27 budget, the following vacancies
will still exist on July 1, 2026 (ignoring the potential impact of positions filled / vacated over the next 2
months).
City Clerk - 1 Parking - 0 Permitting/Inspections - 0
Executive - 3 HECD - 1 Jetport - 3
Assessors - 0 Police - 19 IT - 0
Finance - 0 Dispatch - 11 Public Works - 11
Legal - 0 Fire - 0 Parks, Rec & Facilities - 14.85
Human Resources - 1 Planning - 0 HHS - Public Health & Social Services - 31.40
HHS - Barron Center and Elder Affairs - 26.20
Please note - the figures above also do not include estimated recruits who are expected to be in the
mid-2026 and early 2027 State of Maine police academies.
Question 5: The City received significant Federal COVID relief funding (American Rescue Plan Act Funds)
which was required to be appropriated by 12/31/24 and is required to be fully spent by 12/31/26. Can you
provide an update on these deadlines? (updated 5/3/2026)
The City has remained in full compliance with all American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) obligation and spending
deadlines. 100% of our funds ($46,290,652.00) were obligated via contract and reported as such within the
US Treasury Reporting Portal as of 12/31/24. Through 03/31/25, $45,674,114.62 of the funds had been
expended. Remaining unspent ARPA funds (approximately $600k) are expected to be used in the next three
months of 2026. The City’s responsible fiscal management of these funds has prevented any fiscal cliffs
related to ARPA funding in any municipal operating budget.
Question 6: The City has a strong fund balance policy which aligns with municipal government best
practices. Is fund balance the same as a “rainy day fund” and what is the most recent unassigned fund
balance figure? (Updated 5/3/2026)
The City’s fund balance policy was set in alignment with municipal government best practices. It is “the
goal of the City is to achieve and maintain unassigned fund balance at 16.66% of General Fund expenditures
(two months of expenditures for both the City and Portland Public Schools) measured on a Generally
Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) basis.” The use of the term fund balance is limited to
governmental funds, where it is used to describe the difference between a fund’s assets plus deferred
4
Page 232
Finance Department
Brendan O’Connell
Finance Director
May 3, 2026
outflows of resources and liabilities plus deferred inflows of resources.1”
Unassigned fund balance is not the same as the rainy day fund as it represents the portion of a City’s
resources that are not earmarked or legally constrained for specific purposes. Unassigned fund balance is
commonly used by cities to meet ongoing cash flow needs and to finance monthly operating expenditures.
In contrast, a rainy day fund is typically in reference to a reserved fund that is only used in emergencies.
Most municipal governments only collect a significant portion of their revenues at two points in the fiscal
year (property tax collection dates), so Portland’s unassigned fund balance fluctuates downward in July,
August, and September (i.e. the General Fund operates at a financial loss in each of those months), then
typically rebounds in October, falls in November, December, January, and February, rebounds in March, and
then falls in April, May and June. If not for our strong fund balance policy, the City would need to frequently
utilize a line of credit with a local bank and we would incur significant interest expense during our
non-property tax collection months.. The City spends nearly $40M per month across all funds and our
strong fund balance policy allows us to responsibly manage cash flows for the City, Schools, and other
funds, minimizing drain on property taxpayers from unnecessary interest expense.
Because the City’s fund balance policy is measured on a GAAP basis, it is reported at the end of each fiscal
year after annual operating results have been finalized and a set of financial statements have been audited.
As of 6/30/25, the City had an unassigned fund balance of $74,672,896. This is approximately 17.35% of FY25
general fund expenditures (a surplus of approximately $2.9M above the recommended amount per the fund
balance policy). The City Manager has recommended use of approximately $4M of unassigned fund balance
as part of the FY27 budget. This recommendation reflects full use of the surplus at 6/30/25 and an
assumption that operating results for FY26 will trend at least $1.1M better than budget.
Question 7: What portion of the Public Health Department is funded by non-property tax sources?
(updated 5/3/2026)
The Public Health budget is approximately 52.66% covered by property taxes ($2,520,650 / $4,786,229) and
47.34% covered by non-property tax revenues ($2,265,579 / $4,786,229 - see further breakdowns below).
The Public Health Division contains approximately $3,733,815.00 in expenses but this does not include
fringe benefits related expenses. When factoring in our nearly 40% fringe rate on the approximately
$2.63M in payroll related Public Health expenses, total Public Health expenditures rise to $4,786,229.
The FY27 Public Health Division contains approximately $2,265,579 in non-property tax revenues.
($1,612,591 in grant reimbursements, $57,200 in Friends of Free clinic donations, $75,788 in operating
revenues, $520,000 in estimated use of opioid settlement funds)

Question 8: Can staff provide details on how fundraising works in relation to the City’s operating budget?
Are there limitations on what items can be supplemented by fundraising? (updated 5/1/2022)
The City’s spending of operating budget funds is authorized by an overall appropriation resolve passed
during the City budget process. For programs supported either fully or partially via donations, the City
budgets for the full amount of program expenditures within the appropriation resolve and also includes an
estimate of the offsetting revenues in the resolve. City staff would be required to come back to City Council
with an additional appropriation order if additional expenditures were required above and beyond what was
already approved in the appropriation resolve. For example, if the City’s overall operating budget was $1M,
and the City needed to launch a new $50,000 program (supported by donations) midway through FY22
pushing total spending to $1.05M the City Manager would bring a new appropriation order to Council
asking the Council to appropriate the additional $50,000 in donations, raising the overall appropriation to
$1,050,000.
None of the programs currently being suggested for fundraising (in HHS, Parks & Recreation) have any
restrictions that staff is currently aware of, but we would do further research before launching any specific
new campaigns for any specific program or item.
Question 9: What property tax relief programs are available to City residents? What are the income
limitations on the Property Tax Stabilization Program and the Portland Senior Tax Equity Program
(P-STEP)? (updated 4/26/23)
The City has a Tax Relief web page dedicated to our various property tax relief programs. Many of the
programs we offer are only permitted by State law and we must follow the rules they provided for allowable
municipal programs (listed below):
● PROPERTY TAX STABILIZATION PROGRAM FOR SENIOR CITIZENS
● MAINE PROPERTY TAX DEFERRAL PROGRAM
● PORTLAND SENIOR TAX EQUITY PROGRAM (P-STEP)
● MAINE HOMESTEAD EXEMPTION PROGRAM
● BUSINESS EQUIPMENT TAX REIMBURSEMENT (BETR)
● BUSINESS EQUIPMENT TAX EXEMPTION (BETE)
● MAINE INDIVIDUAL INCOME TAX - PROPERTY TAX FAIRNESS CREDIT
● BLIND EXEMPTION
● VETERANS EXEMPTION
● SURVIVING SPOUSE, MINOR CHILD OR WIDOWED PARENT OF A VETERAN
● CURRENT LAND USE PROGRAMS (Farmland, Open Space, Tree Growth, and Working Waterfront)
We recommend referring to the City’s Tax Relief web pages (and applicable State web pages) for details
around qualification criteria and income limitations on each program. However, as of 4/26/23 there were no

income limitations within the State of Maine Property Tax Stabilization program for Senior Citizens. For
the Portland Senior Tax Equity Program (P-STEP) applicants must have received a Maine Property Tax
Fairness Credit in the year of the P-STEP application. An excerpt from the form detailing income
limitations on the 2022 State Form PFTC is below:
Question 10: Are we able to create a discounted parking program for low to moderate income downtown
workers? Either lower meter rates or lower City garage rates? (updated 5/4/23)
We have not seen anything in any other municipalities regarding discounted meters for downtown workers.
However the City has the benefit of owning several downtown garages and we have an existing Park and
Work program. The purpose of the Park and Work program, since its inception about 30 years ago, has been
to provide access to discounted parking for low to moderate income employees, or to unpaid volunteers.
Portland Downtown’s Park & Work Program, administered in partnership with the City of Portland, offers
half-priced, hourly parking in the city-owned Spring Street & Elm Street garages to
low-to-moderate-income employees and unpaid volunteers. It is designed to ease the financial burden of
parking expenses.
Effective January 2025, key program changes include:
● Increased income eligibility from 50% to 80% of the Area Median Income (AMI),
● An extended parking time limit from six hours to nine hours, and
● The introduction of QR codes, which can be scanned upon exiting participating garages.
Each QR code costs $6, providing 3 hours of parking at $2 per hour, compared to the standard rate of $4.
Eligible workers can use up to three QR codes at once, allowing them to park for up to 9 hours a day at half

price, for a total of $18. This helps alleviate any burden related to expanded meter hours in FY27. QR codes
are available for purchase through Portland Downtown during regular business hours – please email
info@portlandmaine.com for assistance.
Please visit the Portland Downtown Park & Work program page here for more information
Understanding that discounting parking when it is at a premium does not make the most sense
economically, Portland Downtown continues to partner with the City of Portland and other
transportation partners on a multi-modal transportation marketing campaign to inform the public
of options other than driving a car and parking downtown. Once here, it is very easy to walk,
bike, bus, etc. in downtown, so we’re excited to explore and share options.
Question 11: What bonding and spending amounts require a referendum per the City Charter (Updated
5/4/2026)
Here are the bonding / spending referendum thresholds under Article VII, Section 16(a) of the City Charter:
Current State Valuation (2026): $20,280,650,000
Bonding Limit: Five one-hundredths of one percent (0.0005) = $10,140,315
Spending Limit: Seven and one-half one-hundredths of one percent (0.00075) = $15,210,487
A few things to note: The above limits apply to bonding or spending for a “single capital improvement or
item of capital equipment” and are measured separately. The spending limit applies to spending municipal
tax funds. Non tax-funds (grants, Federal dollars, etc.) do not count against the threshold limit. Staff
recommends involving Bond Counsel during discussion of any bonding or spending which would come
close to approaching any of these thresholds.
Question 12: What is the annual debt service cost associated with $1M in bonds issued? (Updated
5/3/2026)
There are several factors which impact the annual debt service cost from $1M of bonds outstanding. Most
notably, the maturity of the bonds (i.e. is it due in 10 years, 20 years etc) has a significant impact on the
amount of principal that must be repaid annually. 10 year bonds issued by the City require 10% of the
principal repaid annually and 20 year bonds issued by the City require 5% of the principal repaid annually.
See the examples below for amounts of principal and interest on a 10 year $1M bond vs a 20 year $1M bond.
Each example assumes issuance in November 2026 and a 4% interest rate. In each example, total annual
debt service decreases over time as principal is repaid. The 10 year bond carries an approximate annual
average debt service of $120,000 per $1M of bonds while the 20 year bond carries an approximate annual
debt service per $1M of bonds of $70,000.

Question 13: What authority does the City Council have over Portland Public Library contract
negotiations with their employees? (added 5/5/2026)
Please be aware that the City (i.e. City Council/City staff) does not have authority over or dictate contract
negotiations between the Portland Public Library (PPL) and its employees and/or amounts provided in
various lines (including wages) in the PPL budget. The Board of Trustees and the Executive Director
perform those functions.
With that said, based on Council budget guidance this year, the recommended FY27 City contribution to the
PPL is a total payment of $5,393,315, a 5% increase from the current fiscal year. The PPL budget also includes
additional non-City revenue streams that may be used to further increase their overall budget. It is
important to share that all City departments received this same budget guidance from Council. Therefore,
every department was required to make difficult decisions, and balance their overall budgets while
factoring in recent contractually obligated 2-5% wage increases (already approved by the Council) across all
9 of the City's labor unions/employee classifications (CEBA, Pro-Tech, Labor & Trades, PBA, SOA,
Firefighters, Dispatchers, Supervisors and Non-Union).
Even with all of these difficult decisions and limitations, the recommended tax levy increase for FY27 is still
above inflation or 2% based on the Consumer Price Index - All Urban Consumers (Boston/North).
