The Zeeland City Council will hold a public hearing next Monday to take comments on the city’s proposed budget for the 2025-26 fiscal year.
The hearing will be held at 7:15 p.m. at City Hall, 21 S. Elm St.
The budget proposal, which was reviewed by council earlier this spring, calls for total net expenditures across all city departments at $71,213,696, the vast majority of it coming from the Zeeland Board of Public Works at $49,431,174.
Total net revenues for the new fiscal year are expected to come in at $68,438,968. The city plans to expend $2,686,716 of governmental reserves for various improvement projects.
The general fund budget, the portion most directly impacted by local property taxes, is expected to use $597,077 of fund balance for the new fiscal year due to transfers out for capital improvement projects. The city is expected to spend $10,849,904 in the general fund for the 25-26 fiscal year, an increase of only 0.7 percent from the current fiscal year, compared to revenues of $10,252,827, according to the budget document.
The budget proposes to keep the city’s tax rate stable at 11.1354 mills for general operations and 0.993 mills for the West Michigan Airport Authority, which operates West Michigan Regional Airport in Holland.
