The Stratford City Council opened and closed a public hearing on the Fiscal Year 2027 proposed property tax levy during a special meeting at Stratford City Hall on March 30, 2026.
Mayor Brian Ouverson called the meeting to order at 7:00 p.m. and the council approved the tentative agenda on a motion by Councilmember Catherine Bergman, seconded by Mark Scott; a roll-call vote recorded all members present voting aye. City Manager and Clerk Kim Leeds was present for the meeting.
At 7:01 p.m. Councilmember Clark Conklin moved, and Doug Timmons seconded, to open the public hearing on the proposed FY2027 property tax levy.

No formal action on adopting or amending the levy is recorded in the meeting minutes. The council then approved a motion by Doug Timmons, seconded by Carol Bergman, to adjourn at 7:05 p.m.
Because no public testimony or written comments were filed during the hearing, the record contains no community input on the proposed levy. Any further formal action on the FY2027 property tax levy, including consideration of adopting a levy ordinance or certification of rates, would appear in subsequent council minutes or a future meeting agenda.
