Mayor Tim Keller 鈥� for the first time in his tenure 鈥� refused to put his John Hancock on the city budget before it is sent to the state Department of Finance and Administration for approval.

Keller鈥檚 office said the missing signature reflects his concern over the City Council鈥檚 decision 鈥渢o build the budget around an overly optimistic forecast that could put core services at risk.鈥�

But those concerns were not enough to compel Keller to veto the fiscal year 2027 budget.

鈥淭his budget accomplishes much of what we want to do, including making sure public safety teams have the resources they need, employees get raises, and city services stay funded. Vetoing the entire budget would have put all of that in jeopardy,鈥� city spokesperson Alex Curtas said.

The $1.47 billion budget passed the council last month after several amendments by councilors, but a disagreement about available funds persisted. 

The issue centered on the council鈥檚 budget substitute allocating $11.8 million more than Keller鈥檚 proposal, which he said followed a pessimistic economic forecast based on unpredictable funding and national economic headwinds.

Most of the $11.8 million 鈥� 1% of general fund appropriations 鈥� was put toward city employee raises, with the leftovers covering other priorities, including traffic safety projects.

Council Budget Chair Ren茅e Grout said the council reached out to the DFA to confirm the availability of the $11.8 million and was told it was a "realistic, well-supported projection."

鈥淒FA has the authority to approve, certify, or revise the City's budget, and it has been sent to them for a full audit. I am confident that DFA's agreement with our conclusions will hold through the audit process, and I consider the matter resolved,鈥� Grout said in a statement. 鈥淚'd like to put this to rest and move on with the City's business.鈥�

Curtas said the council amendments to the budget helped with employee raises and public safety investments, but the Mayor鈥檚 Office would 鈥渃ontinue to closely monitor revenues and work to ensure the city's long-term financial stability.鈥�

Curtas said Keller has previously taken issue with, and action on, a council budget substitute, including last year when he line-item vetoed portions 鈥渢o address technical corrections and issues鈥� involving the anti-donation clause of the state constitution, which bars donating public dollars to private entities.

鈥淏ut he did sign it,鈥� Curtas added.
