Hiawatha City Commission adopts 2025 budget

(KNZA)--The Hiawatha City Commission in a special meeting Friday morning unanimously adopted a 2025 city budget of $8.5 million that's revenue neutral.

In addition, the Commission approved an ordinance appropriating funds for the 2025 budget.

The city's original budget proposal was revised after a resolution to exceed the revenue-neutral rate failed to gain the approval of a majority of the Commission Monday evening.

That means the city must collect the same amount of property tax revenue during the 2025 budget year as the current year.

The adopted budget contains a revenue-neutral rate of 37.566 mills, which is anticipated to generate $1.3 million in local tax revenue.

The original budget proposal was nearly 3.3 mills above the revenue neutral rate.

Mayor Becky Shamburg thanked City Administrator Brad Scott for his work on the budget, adding it's a situation the city shouldn't have been put in.
