(The Center Square) - Despite ongoing deficits, the Seattle City Council is considering $55.5 million in net additions to Mayor Katie Wilson’s 2027-28 budget proposal amid a $175 million general fund hole.​ Wilson’s first budget proposes various measures to reduce the structural deficit to roughly $23 million, with minor recurring deficits in 2028 and 2029, while relying on available fund balances to fill the rest. The council spent the last few weeks considering changes to Wilson’s plan before Councilmember Dan Strauss, the budget chair, released his “balancing package” Tuesday. Staff presented the amendments to the entire council on Wednesday, with any remaining “self-balanced amendments” due by Monday.​ The Select Budget Committee will hold a hearing Thursday to consider feedback on the package. “The mayor's proposed budget unnecessarily took austere measures to balance the budget,” Strauss said Wednesday, referring to budget transfers, offsets and service reductions, such as cutting vacant public safety-related positions and reducing fire overtime. “There was no new funding of any kind.”​ He said the council could use revenue from the county’s recent sales tax increase, improved forecasts, an off-cycle JumpStart payroll-tax payment and reduced reserve contributions. The net general fund addition is about $55.5 million, based on
