Seelyville's proposed 2027 budget clears the first of two required votes

What happened

Clerk-Treasurer Wayne Langdon read Ordinance 2026-10-1 — the town's proposed 2027 budget — setting an estimated maximum property-tax levy of $98,168 against a general fund of $201,353, $28,168 of which would come from that levy, for a town tax rate of about 4.67%. (9:36)

The rest of the budget sets aside $171,751 for motor vehicle highway work (about $70,000 of it from the tax levy), $52,000 for economic development, $45,000 for local roads and streets, $20,000 for capital improvements, and $5,000 each for a rainy-day fund and the town's casino-riverboat revenue — none of those last four from taxes.

The outcome

The council approved the first reading by roll call without stating a complete per-member tally. Clerk-Treasurer Wayne Langdon said the budget will come back for a second, final vote next month before it can take effect. (11:12)
