Administrator previews November draft budget; new construction expected to add ~$171,000 to levy

Administrative Coordinator Hannan updated the board on the 2026 budget process and other administrative matters. Hannan said department-level budget meetings have been held, Finance has approved a draft budget for presentation in November, and net new construction is estimated to contribute about $171,000 to the levy. A tax-increment financing district in Viroqua closed last year, which also affects the levy picture.
