La Pine council adopts FY 2026–27 budget, sets $1.98 per $1,000 tax rate
Summary
The La Pine City Council unanimously adopted Resolution 2026‑05 to approve the FY 2026–27 budget and a tax rate of $1.98 per $1,000 after a staff presentation and brief council discussion. Staff noted the council may adjust budget committee allocations up to 10% if desired.
The La Pine City Council adopted Resolution 2026‑05, approving the city’s FY 2026–27 budget and setting the property tax rate at $1.98 per $1,000 of assessed value.
A staff member summarized the budget process and told the council the budget committee (which includes council members and public participants) had reviewed the proposal in May and forwarded it to the council. “Typically, we don't make adjustments at this time, but we could make adjustments in up to 10% of what the budget committee had allocated if there was something you were interested in adjusting,” staff said. Councilor Karen Morse moved to adopt the resolution and the motion passed by voice vote.
The resolution was presented as a single motion with a staff recommendation to approve both the budget and the tax rate. Council members had no substantive amendments during the meeting. Staff noted the formal budget document is available in the packet (page 101) and the council was advised that the resolution number had been corrected to 2026‑05 prior to the vote.
The council did not direct staff to return with further budget amendments; staff said any adjustments within the 10% allowance would need to be identified for future consideration. The meeting record shows the resolution passed; the exact per‑member roll call tallies are not fully specified in the transcript.
