La Porte City BID board approves Form 1 budget for 2026
Summary
Board approved the BID’s Form 1 budget for 2026, setting an $85,000 appropriation roughly equal to the expected levy and noting that additional appropriations would require city council approval.
The La Porte City BID board voted to approve its Form 1 budget for 2026, authorizing an appropriation of $85,000, a figure the board described as approximately equal to its levy.
The board discussed that the presented 2026 budget looks different from the internal activity spreadsheet because some contracts carried over from the previous year and the timing of state and local changes required adjustments. Members said the approved budget has already been implemented administratively; the board noted that any additional appropriations beyond the $85,000 will require city council approval.
A board member asked about timing for any supplemental appropriation; the board indicated it will wait through the winter season and perform a sidewalk triage in spring, then request additional funding from the council if needed. The board approved the Form 1 budget by motion, second and affirmative vote during the meeting.
Board members estimated existing funds and levy receipts would allow the BID to meet obligations through the next tax draw if expenditures remain near current levels.
