Wilmont council adopts budget, cuts planned levy increase to 20%
Summary
The Wilmont City Council on Dec. 11 adopted the final 2025 budget and reduced a previously set 32% proposed levy increase to a 20% increase before voting unanimously to approve Resolution 2024-10.
The Wilmont City Council voted unanimously on Dec. 11 to adopt the city’s final 2025 levy and budget, approving Resolution 2024-10 after reducing the proposed levy increase to 20 percent from the 32 percent level set in September.
Council member Isaac Joens moved to adopt the final levy and budget; Council member Josh Balster seconded the motion, and all members present voted in favor. Council members discussed the levy amount and agreed to lower the increase before taking the final vote.
The decision implements the council’s final revenue plan for 2025 as reflected in the adopted resolution. The minutes record that the levy change was the primary modification since the council’s September actions; no separate roll-call vote tally was recorded in the minutes beyond “all in favor.”
The council approved other routine fiscal items earlier in the meeting, including authorizing payment of remaining bills and operating bills received after the meeting, including fire department bills. The council did not specify additional formal steps or hearings related to the levy in the published minutes.
The council is next scheduled to meet on Jan. 15, 2025, when follow-up administrative items and any budget implementation details can be entered into the record.
