Palo council discusses FY27 levy options, requests neighboring comparisons ahead of March 5 deadline
Summary
During a March 3 budget workshop the Palo City Council discussed a proposed FY27 budget and whether to levy for employee benefits, and asked staff for a comparison of neighboring communities' tax levies; the levy must be finalized and submitted to the County by March 5.
The Palo City Council spent part of its March 3 budget workshop reviewing proposed elements of the FY27 budget, including a proposed new tax amount and whether to levy revenue for employee benefits.
Council members asked staff for a comparison of tax levies from neighboring communities to inform the council’s decision. City Clerk Jennifer Fencl noted the statutory timing: the tax levy must be finalized by March 5 and submitted to the County.
The council did not record a final decision on the levy or a specific levy amount in the meeting minutes; the transcript shows the council requested comparative data to help finalize the figure before the statutory deadline. The item remained in discussion as part of the ongoing budget process.
Separately, the council discussed a potential Community Impact Day to recruit resident volunteers for small projects in town and parks; that idea was noted but no budget or schedule was recorded.
