The New Haven Village Council voted to set the 2026 millage rates and to retain the fire special assessment at three mills.
Council recorded the general operating millage at 8.4875 mills, highway at 1.85 mills and cemetery at 0.4125 mills. The rates were described as unchanged from the prior adopted schedule and reflect a reduction from a previously higher nominal figure mentioned in background discussion.
On a separate vote, the council kept the 2026 fire special assessment at three mills. A council member recommended staff review the capital improvement plan and report saved balances and project status to inform future budgeting decisions.
Both motions passed on roll call. Staff said the millage-setting follows the public hearing materials in the meeting packet and will be included in the finalized budget documents.
