Minoa board previews $8.95 tax rate, salary increases and equipment purchases in budget workshop
Summary
At a March 4, 2026 special budget workshop, Mayor Brazill and the Village Board reviewed a proposed $8.95 tax rate, pay increases for elected officials and multiple capital and personnel line‑item increases, and agreed to schedule a public hearing on a tax‑levy override at the March 16 meeting.
Mayor Brazill opened a March 4, 2026 special budget workshop to review the tentative 2026–2027 village budget. "the purpose of the meeting is to work on the Village Budgets for the 2026-2027 Fiscal Year," Mayor Brazill said, marking the session as a preparatory review before presenting a tentative budget to the public.
During the line‑item review the board examined a proposed tax rate of $8.95 and several specific spending adjustments: salary increases described as $21,000 for the mayor and $8,500 for trustees; an increase to A1620.2 to $25,000 for computer (HVAC) and server upgrades; an increase to A1640.2 to $160,000 for two plow‑equipped vehicles (F550 and F350); and an increase to A3410.10 to $345,900 for part‑time firefighters. The minutes note an associated adjustment to A2262 tied to changes in the Town of Manlius Fire/EMS contract.
