Van Meter council adopts FY2027 levy of 14.60274
Summary
The Van Meter City Council approved the FY2027 budget levy at 14.60274 on April 13, 2026, by a 5-0 vote. The action finalizes the property-tax levy for the coming fiscal year; routine consent items and several project approvals were also adopted.
The Van Meter City Council on April 13 adopted the fiscal year 2027 levy at 14.60274, finalizing the city’s property-tax rate for the upcoming budget year. The motion to set the levy was made by Councilmember Jarin Young and seconded by Councilmember Joe Lake; the roll call vote was 5-0-0 in favor.
The levy approval came as part of the meeting’s financial business; councilors also passed a multi-item consent agenda that included the April claims list and March payroll reports and routine renewals and appointments. The meeting packet showed a total claims summary and payroll deposits for March; detailed line items (vendor payments, contract costs and payroll totals) were included in the packet and approved as part of the consent agenda.
Mayor Herman and council members said the levy decision follows the budget review that preceded the vote in the packet and during prior budget work sessions. No public hearing or amendment to the levy rate was recorded at the April 13 meeting.
The council’s action means the levy figure is set for the city’s FY2027 budget adoption process; any further budget implementation steps noted in the packet or future meetings were not decided at this session. The council adjourned at 10:19 PM.
