Final Proposed Pay 2027 Property Tax Levy:

Item
Page | 2

Staff is proposing a slight decrease to the preliminary tax levy adopted on September 8th,
2026. The preliminary 2027 tax levy was set at 7.5% increase over the 2026 adopted levy, or
an increase of $968,364. The proposed 2027 final levy is an increase of 6.97% over the
2026adopted levy, or an increase of $896,345.

The major drivers of the increase are:

2027 Fund Budget Statements:

Item
Page | 3

The packet includes a 2027 Budget Statement for each major fund the city operates. All funds
have been reviewed and discussed at previous meetings, with the final review to take place at
the workshop.
2027 – 2036 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP):
An updated 2027 – 2036 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) is presented.
Significant changes since the last review of CIP are as follows:
•
MIS (2027) – Removed the SUV from the CIP and adjusted the timing of the
potential HVAC software implementation until 2029.
•
Liquor Store (2027) – Adjusted the replacement of main entrance doors for the
Downtown location, to only include the outer set for 2027 and then the potential
replacement of the inner set in 2028.
An updated Financial Management Plan (FMP) showing all current/updated Capital
Improvement Plan (CIP) has been prepared. The City uses both the Capital Improvement Plan
and the Financial Management Plan to assist in making decisions on what projects are to be
done and when. The projects recorded within these documents are not set in stone and can
change due to various circumstances (timing, funding, etc.):

Fee Schedule:
A redlined version of the Draft 2027 Fee Schedule is included in the packet.
Significant Proposed Changes:
•
Fiber Equipment – Equipment fees were not included in the 2026 Master Fee
Schedule, so we felt it was important to itemize them in the 2027 schedule to
provide a clear reference for future billing questions.

•
•

Item
Page | 4

Private Airport Hangars – The private hangars are proposed to increase by $0.02 per
square foot, which is increasing rates by 10%. This is the first increase on these
hangars in the past 19 years.
Buffalo Area Community Center – Rather than having separate weekday and
weekend rates, the Community Center will be transitioning to a consistent hourly
rental fee, regardless of the day or the week the room is reserved.

ALIGNMENT WITH CITY COUNCIL STRATEGIC PLAN:

Innovative and Forward-Thinking Governance: Ensure transparent decision-making, clear
communication, and accessibility of staff and information sources for residents. Maintain a
fiscally sound government with competitive taxes and utility rates, responsible use of debt, and
a budget that reflects community priorities.

FISCAL CONSIDERATIONS:
a. Estimated Cost: $0
b. Funding Source(s): N/A
c. Budgeted: N/A

RECOMMENDED ACTION:

Staff is requesting guidance and confirmation on the items to be presented at the next Council
meeting on December 7, 2026, during the Truth in Taxation public hearing for 2027 Budget and
Tax levy adoption on December 21, 2026.
