6 2nd quarter budget review and Steve reviews taxes - water and sewer funds, debt payments. Those funds are sitting in the expense accounts. Water well project 427000 spent so far. Looks like a loss but when we close out, the expense will go away. We are getting some interest on the grant we got for the well. That is in PTIF account. Hopefully we will have enough to build something for well house.
Taxes did not go up last year. Will have to raise taxes this year. Very hard to raise taxes and get a lot more from raised taxes in a small town. Antoinette? Where do we fall short? Less people in a town, equals less $ received from increases.
Mayor trying to generate more tax base near sod farm. $145,000 property tax revenue.
If we are not receiving revenue, we are limited.
Now's the time to start thinking about 2026 budget. There is some flexibility.
