Lindstrom council adopts preliminary levy of $3.98 million to cover roads and public safety
Summary
The council adopted resolution 2025091701 certifying a preliminary levy of $3,978,024, citing road-construction funding and police contract costs as primary drivers; final certification will occur in December when levy may be reduced but not increased.
Finance staff presented the required preliminary-levy certification and explained major drivers: increased road‑construction funding, police contract costs and funding for an administrative assistant. Staff emphasized that once the preliminary levy is certified it cannot be raised prior to the final certification in December.
Councilor moved to adopt resolution 2025091701. The council approved the measure by unanimous voice vote, with the mayor noting that the levy could be reduced in subsequent meetings if needed. "The increase was mainly due to additional dollars for road construction and the police contract," the finance presenter said as she described the components.
