Seven members. CAI’s approximately $81,984 council non-labor cost remains included.
$0.8772 / $1,000
Slider maximum: $1.60 per $1,000 AV, matching CAI’s modeled city maximum.
$500,000 home: about $36.55 per month at this modeled rate.
What is not in the operating balance? CAI separately estimates about $2.421M of 2027 REET and $340.8K of lodging tax. Those revenues are restricted and are not used to balance the operating budget above.

Method: Published presets reproduce the County/CAI and BBIA 2027 scenarios. Custom staffing uses CAI’s modeled labor costs while retaining the associated non-labor costs. Intermediate staffing levels are illustrative.
