Town of Sellersburg budget reading: overall 2027 total falls by $119,600
Summary
At the Town of Sellersburg's 2027 first budget reading staff reported the townwide budget is down $119,600 from 2026 and asked council members to flag any planned projects for inclusion; staff noted only the general and park funds carry property tax rates.
The Town of Sellersburg held its 2027 first budget reading in workshop format, with staff reporting the total overall budget is down by $119,600 compared with 2026. Michelle, who presented the figures, told council members she had not received project requests by email and asked that any planned projects be submitted so they could be added to the draft.
"Well, not much has changed from '26 to '27. So far with the figures that we have, the total overall budget, it has went down a $119,600," Michelle said during the presentation. Council members pressed staff for clarification about which funds receive property tax revenue; staff noted the general fund and the park fund are the only two funds with a property tax rate.
Michelle also clarified pension and restricted fund items for council members, saying the police-pension line referenced payments to two pension widows from an old pension fund that the state reimburses. The workshop format allowed staff to ask for any outstanding project requests so they could be included in the 2027 draft budget before formal readings and approvals.
