The City of Tigard is a financially stable city with clean financial audits, a strong credit rating from Moody’s and Standard and Poor’s, and a history of creating its budget in the most fiscally responsible manner.
We do have revenue issues, as citizens know from our property tax constraints, which causes the city to have challenges in providing needed service levels. After the defeat of the Local Option Levy in May, 2018, the city implemented its first of two years of service level cuts—$2.5 million each year.
This fiscal year, as you can see from the graphic below, the city was able to obtain most of its $2.5 million in savings from other resources. 
While we are still experiencing lower than needed service levels, this next fiscal year will not see the drastic cuts that we thought we would have to make in order to maintain a fiscally responsible position.
