Beaman council adopts FY2027 budget schedule, sets public hearing and certification deadlines
Summary
The Beaman City Council accepted a schedule for FY2027 budget planning on Jan. 22, setting work sessions, a public hearing on the proposed tax rate for April 9 and an April 23 hearing and adoption of the FY2027 budget; the clerk must submit the proposed tax rate to the Iowa Department of Management by March 5.
The Beaman City Council on Jan. 22 reviewed and accepted a schedule to guide preparation of the FY2027 budget, establishing key dates for planning, public notice and hearings. The schedule lays out an initial planning session (Jan. 22), a Feb. 5 work session, a public hearing on the proposed tax rate on April 9 at 5:30 PM, and an April 23 special meeting to hold the public hearing and adopt the FY2027 budget.
The council’s outline includes statutory and administrative deadlines the clerk must meet: the City Clerk must submit the proposed tax rate to the Iowa Department of Management no later than March 5, and the County Auditor is to mail notices of the proposed tax rate no later than March 15. The clerk is to post public hearing notices between March 20 and March 30 and to post the notice for budget adoption on April 10. The minutes do not show a recorded roll-call vote on the schedule but state the council "accepted the budget schedule as outlined below."
Council members reviewed projections for FY2025–FY2027 revenue and expenditures and discussed the budget process and dates. The minutes list the timeline steps and deadlines but do not specify funding adjustments or proposed tax-rate figures. The council adjourned at 7:24 PM.
