What's in Rogers' 2026 budget

• The separate streets fund has about $10 million in revenue and expenses with a surplus of about $16,000.

State of play: Rogers doesn't have major capital improvement projects planned but does plan to add nine new staff positions, finance director Casey Wilhelm told Axios.

• The nine new positions are an electrician, two groundskeepers, a sports park foreman, two paramedics, a constituent services liaison and two real time information center specialists in the Police Department, according to city documents.

Zoom in: The city has $500,000 going toward purchasing the building and land where the Rogers Activity Center operates from the Rogers Youth Center, but it's TBD whether the purchase will happen in 2026, Wilhelm said in an email.

• Rogers is also putting $130,000 toward pickleball courts.
