A report says Falkirk Council is facing a budget deficit of more than £64 million over the next five years.
The local authority will debate a report next week, which says they're facing "very difficult decisions" to balance the books.
It's reporting a £64.4 million gap in funding over the next five years.
Suggestions for closing the gap include a rise in council tax - with councillors to discuss a 9% increase.
A reduction in council services is also being proposed.
Chief Finance Officer Amanda Templeman said: “The new Financial Strategy being presented to elected members is a comprehensive look at the projected financial position that Falkirk Council faces over the next five years.
“It spells out the difficulties in tackling the projected deficit and it is important that members have a clear understanding of the financial position of the Council when it comes to the financial choices they will have to make as part of our budget process.
“More detailed information will be brought forward as the year progresses.”
