MARSHFIELD, WI (OnFocus) – The City of Marshfield invites community members to attend a public hearing on the proposed 2024 City budget on Tuesday, November 21st at 6:00 p.m. The purpose is to allow for citizen input before the Common Council considers approval of the final budget.
The proposed budget is available for inspection at City Hall from 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday-Thursday, and from 7:30 a.m. to noon on Fridays. The proposed budget may also be found on the City’s website, at 2024 Proposed Budget. The total assessed value of all property in the City increased by approximately 37% over last year, due largely to the recent revaluation.
However, the total tax levy, which is greatly restricted by the State’s levy limits, is only allowed to be increased by .73% for 2023 taxes payable in 2024. (Read more here.)
“The proposed 2024 budget allows the City to maintain the high-quality services that we have provided in 2023 while addressing key staffing needs and continuing the positive financial direction that we have been working toward in recent years,” said City Administrator Steve Barg. “I am very optimistic for the future of our community!”
