City of Auburn FY2027 Budget
Budget Binder Front Matter
The first six binder pages introduce the FY2027 budget process, schedule, binder organization, preliminary-status notice, and July 30 called-meeting agenda.
Context note. The front matter expressly identifies parts of the budget as preliminary and subject to change. It also contains FY2026/FY2027 labeling inconsistencies that are preserved as written rather than silently corrected.

What the current record shows
- Auburn planned a staged FY2027 budget process with department submissions, workshops, public hearings, and a scheduled ordinance presentation.
- The binder expressly labels at least one proposal as preliminary and subject to change.
- The final Barrow County tax digest arrived July 29, immediately before the July 30 workshop, while revenue projections were still being updated.
- The table of contents identifies later binder sections for meeting packets, SPLOST funds, retirement, capital projects, summaries, employee changes, and notes.
Open documentation questions
- Why the FY2027 binder schedule contains FY2026 references.
- Which preliminary pages or projections were later superseded.
- How the July 29 tax digest changed revenue projections.
- Which procurement, insurance, and accounts-payable items were later updated.
- Whether the scheduled September 10 budget ordinance was adopted as presented.
