Residents deserve understandable explanations of city finances and a way to monitor financial performance throughout the year.
Colby's Role
Second Ward Alderwoman, questioning at Committee of the Whole
Action Taken
At the August 24, 2026 Committee of the Whole meeting, Colby asked about the plan to manage the projected budget deficit and whether quarterly benchmarks could be provided. The minutes record the comptroller's explanation that the apparent deficit reflected capital cash outlays rather than an operational deficit.
Result / Current Status
Questions raised on the record. Colby's position: residents deserve understandable explanations and a way to monitor financial performance throughout the year. Asking for regular benchmarks helps connect budget discussions with ongoing accountability.
