Summary
The council adopted the FY2026–27 budget, an appropriations resolution and established the millage rate (9.3969), noting the millage has declined from historical levels; roll-call votes were recorded in favor.
The Village Council voted to adopt the FY2026–27 budget, approved the related appropriations resolution and set the millage rate at 9.3969 mills.
Context: Staff and council members noted the millage rate has ratcheted down over decades from a higher cap and that the village’s current rate is below earlier levels; the speaker reported that the village has adequate revenue and no immediate need to seek an increase. Council members also referenced pending state legislation that could change property-tax uncapping rules and affect future millage-setting.
Votes: The council recorded roll-call votes in favor of the budget, appropriations resolution and millage rate. Staff indicated property-tax bills will reflect the new millage and be mailed around July 1.
Next steps: Treasurer’s office to prepare tax bills at the new rate and distribute them; council may revisit millage policy if state law changes property-tax caps or uncapping rules.
