New Bremen council passes emergency resolution opposing House Bill 335
Summary
Council voted unanimously to adopt an emergency resolution opposing House Bill 335, saying the measure would eliminate inside millage and remove about $260,000 annually from village revenues, threatening support for police, fire and streets.
The Village of New Bremen council on June 23 passed Emergency Resolution 2025-06-08 formally opposing House Bill 335, which the resolution says would eliminate inside millage received from property taxes beginning with tax year 2025.
According to the resolution text included in the meeting minutes, the village receives roughly $260,000 annually in inside millage that helps support essential services including police, fire and street maintenance; the resolution states HB 335 would eliminate that funding stream with no replacement funding identified. Council moved to suspend the rules and adopted the resolution; the motion passed by a six-aye tally.
The minutes do not record an extended debate or individual member roll-call votes beyond the six-aye tally. The resolution expresses the council’s formal opposition and will be retained in village records; the minutes do not specify any direct follow-up actions such as sending the resolution to state lawmakers, although such steps are common practice.
