2025 Charter Review Commission Council action

None — it's a governance change.

Cemetery worker pay raises

Higher cemetery payroll costs are shared through the city and township cemetery budgets funded by the .60-mill levy.

Towing and storage fee review request

Higher towing rates would cost drivers more when their vehicles are towed, while raising revenue for the towing operators.

Corporate money in politics and Citizens United

No direct city financial impact — this is a state of democracy discussion, though speakers argued unregulated political spending drives policy that costs taxpayers.

CDBG PY 2026 Annual Action Plan

Roughly $265,000 in federal CDBG funding allocated across infrastructure, housing, and services.

City Staffing and Funding Gap

Roughly $2 million a year would be redirected to police, fire, and paving if voters approve the plan.

Standing Rock Cemetery Funding and Governance

Property owners in both jurisdictions pay .60 mills toward cemetery operations for tax year 2026.

2027 tax budget and 2026 appropriations adjustments

Roughly $850,000 in increased appropriations.

Police Station Debt Retirement and Tax Replacement Proposal

A potential 0.25% income tax on the ballot — same rate as today but funding cops, firefighters and paving instead of debt.

Income Tax Extension Election

If approved by voters, the extended income tax revenue funds police, fire and service staffing and quality-of-life projects starting in 2027.

Certifying unpaid city bills as property tax liens

Roughly $33,000 in sidewalk delinquencies alone, plus a large Franklin Crossing utility balance of about $254,000, being recovered through the county.

2027 tax budget adoption

Sets the framework for the city's 2027 tax revenue; no new taxes are levied by this action.
