The July 25, 2025, Joint Largo City Commission and Finance Advisory Board meeting focused on budget considerations and potential reductions. The meeting began with discussions surrounding the city's financial status and the possibility of reallocating funds within the existing budget.

One key point raised was the inquiry about finding $200,000 in budget cuts before the upcoming military hearing. A member of the board questioned whether it was feasible to identify these cuts without jeopardizing the city's financial stability, specifically noting that the proposed adjustments would not drop the city below the 10% reserve threshold.

City officials responded by clarifying that no budget reductions had been actively pursued this year. However, during the budget preparation process, departments were asked to review their expenditures and identify any potential savings. This effort resulted in approximately $300,000 in recurring costs that departments believed could be reduced.

The meeting concluded with a commitment to further explore budgetary options and ensure that any necessary adjustments align with the city's financial health and obligations. The discussions highlighted the ongoing efforts of the city to manage its budget effectively while preparing for future financial commitments.
