The Sheboygan Finance & Personnel Committee on Wednesday voted to file certified tax levy reports for the Kohler School District and Lakeshore Technical College for the 2025-26 budget year.

Finance Director (name on file with the city) told the committee these are recurring, annual filings and that the city's role is limited to placing certified levy amounts on property tax bills. "We have no control over these numbers," the Finance Director said, adding staff will include the districts' certified amounts on bills.

Alder Mitchell asked how the 2025-26 levies compared with last year. The Finance Director said the Kohler School District levy for 2024 was $2,052,064 and that the Lakeshore Technical College levy for 2024 was $2,485,498; he said he would provide any additional side-by-side comparisons requested by alderpersons.

Alder Perella moved to file Report No. 28 (Kohler School District) and Report No. 29 (Lakeshore Technical College); Alder Decker seconded both motions. The committee voted unanimously to file the two reports. The filings will place the certified levy amounts on this year's tax bills as required by state practice.

The committee took no other action on school or college levies themselves, which remain under the taxing districts' authority.
