West Bend-Mallard CSD holds public hearing on slight FY27 property tax increase
Summary
The West Bend-Mallard Community School District Board of Directors held a March 24 public hearing on a proposed FY27 property tax rate of $10.33 per $1,000, a $0.03 increase from FY26; the superintendent said the revenue would support teacher salaries and the hearing drew no public questions.
The West Bend-Mallard Community School District Board of Directors held a public hearing March 24 in the district administration board room on a proposed property tax rate of $10.33 per $1,000 for fiscal year 2027, Superintendent Paul Peppmeier said.
Peppmeier said the proposed rate represents a $0.03 increase from FY26’s $10.30 per $1,000 and that the additional revenue would help pay teacher salaries. "The $10.33 rate per thousand is a slight increase from $10.30 per thousand in FY26. Property tax revenue helps pay teacher salaries and should have very little impact with such a minimal difference," Peppmeier said.
President John Zaugg opened the hearing at 5:31 p.m. after the board approved the meeting agenda on a motion by Chris Montag, seconded by Lisa Traub. The record notes that motions at the meeting were treated as unanimous unless noted. With no questions or comments from members of the public, Zaugg closed the hearing at 5:35 p.m.
A motion to adjourn at 5:35 p.m. was made by Dave Bruellman and carried. The meeting minutes are signed by John Zaugg, Board President, and Maria Steier, Board Secretary. The transcript of this meeting records the public hearing and presentation of the proposed rate but does not show a formal vote to adopt the FY27 rate during this session.
The board did not receive public comment or challenge on the proposed rate during this hearing; any formal adoption, amendment or vote on the levy is not recorded in the document provided.
