Summary
The Conrad City Council unanimously adopted the FY 2025–26 municipal budget and four related levy and compensation resolutions on Sept. 2, 2025, after brief discussion with the finance officer about mill amounts; specific levy rates were not stated on the record. Motions passed unanimously.
The Conrad City Council on Sept. 2, 2025, voted unanimously to adopt the city’s FY 2025–26 municipal budget and related levy and compensation resolutions.
Mayor David Cates convened the meeting at 6:00 p.m. and the council moved, without recorded opposition, to adopt Resolution #25-1321 (Municipal Budget FY 2025/2026), Resolution #25-1322 (Permissive Levy FY 2025/2026), Resolution #25-1325 (Levying Special Assessment FY 2025/2026), Resolution #25-1323 (Annual Tax Levies FY 2025/2026) and Resolution #25-1324 (Salary and Compensation FY 2025/2026). Motions were offered by Alderman Karla Breding and seconded by Aldermen Carrie Doty or Amber Schoenrock depending on the item; each motion was recorded as "Motion Carried Unanimously."
Finance Officer Jodi Rogers and council members discussed mill amounts as part of the public hearing on the proposed budget, but the transcript does not include the specific mill rates or a line-item breakdown. No members of the public offered testimony during the hearing. Rogers said she is still working to finalize balances for July and August and that fuller financial figures will be available at the next meeting.
The adoptions complete the formal steps required by the council to set the city's budget, permissive levy, special assessments, annual tax levies and the salary and compensation schedule for the fiscal year beginning in 2025. The council did not record any roll-call breakdown beyond noting the motions carried unanimously.
The council scheduled additional business for future meetings, including a public hearing on proposed increases to solid-waste and sewer-system rates.
