2027 Budget and 10.5-Mill Tax Levy
The 2027 draft budget totals $39.1 million with a proposed 10.5-mil combined property tax rate — the high end, with staff aiming to lower it before December adoption. About half of general fund spending goes to emergency services, and the budget funds five new firefighters via a SAFER grant, park improvements, police equipment, and a $5,200 library contribution bump.
