2027 Budget and Tax Cap Override

The city manager's tentative 2027 budget totals about $59 million and would raise the tax rate 3.5% — about $107 a year for the average homeowner. Pension and health costs are the big drivers; the council will also consider redirecting the 1% transfer tax to general emergency services spending.

Multi-year capital plan and facility needs

First look at the capital plan due July 1: huge deferred facility needs including a $35M highway garage, $12M Depew pool, $7M court building and Youth Bureau renovations, and $11.75M lower South Street sewer work. Council comments and corrections will come back at the next work session.
