05/05/26 - Inside Government - City Budget Update

The City of Auburn is in the final six weeks of its process to adopt a budget for 2026-2027, that would be effective on July 1st and it has been heated with City taxpayers and City employees frustrated by the City’s current budget predicament.

The City faces a $5 million budget gap between revenues and expenses. Among the scenarios the Mayor and Council face is increasing the Tax Levy by 28% or cutting more than 50 positions or a combination of both.

City Manager Jennifer Haines and City Comptroller Mary Beth Leeson will be present their budget to the Mayor and Council this week and slate on the agenda is a resolution to discuss over riding the State tax cap on May 28th.

We have asked them both in today to discuss the budget process and what they may recommend.

Jacob Soltero, a member of Cayuga Community College’s Class of 2026, who is graduating summa cm laude in May, was recognized for his academic and leadership achievements this week when he received the SUNY Chancellor’s Award for Student Excellence (CASE).

The award is the highest academic and leadership distinction for SUNY students, recognizing them for their success and commitment in diverse categories, including academics, campus involvement, civics and service, and more.

Throughout his time at Cayuga, Soltero has excelled academically while also immersing himself in student life opportunities through the College’s Media Arts programs. This spring he’s graduating with an Associate in Applied Science in Media Arts: Audio Production.

He has served as the president of the Radio and Television Guild and of Cayuga Records, the student-led production company at the college. Soltero also assisted in the production of “Beyond the Front Page with Guy Cosentino” and “Inside Government with Guy Cosentino,” two public affairs programs produced by Cayuga students, staff and faculty.

Soltero also provided technical support for Harlequin Productions, Cayuga student-theatre group, and helped produce weekly high school football broadcasts aired on Spectrum News.

“I’ve had a great experience at Cayuga learning from my classmates and faculty like (Media & Telecommunications Director) Laura Bailey. They’re very genuine people who pushed me to be the best version of myself and helped me realize what I wanted to do in my life. My experience here, especially the hands-on learning, will genuinely help me in my next steps,” said Soltero.

This fall, Soltero is transferring to SUNY Oswego to continue studying media and broadcasting.
