Marysville City Council work session agenda lists public hearings on 2027-2028 budget, flat 2027 property tax levy

What the records say

The Oct. 5, 2026 City Council work session agenda included two public-hearing items: an ordinance to adopt the City of Marysville's 2027-2028 Biennial Budget, and an ordinance setting the regular property tax levy for 2027 ¹. The budget item was described as the first of three public hearings on the Mayor's proposed budget. Mayor Nehring, City Administrator Stapleton, and Finance Director Heide Brillantes were scheduled to present an overview covering revenues, expenditures by fund, and a financial forecast ¹. The agenda said action on both ordinances would be requested at the Nov. 9, 2026 City Council meeting ¹. The supplied record is pre-meeting material and does not establish what happened at the Oct. 5 work session or whether the hearings were held.

• The proposed budget ordinance would adopt the 2027-2028 budget by reference, identify estimated revenues and appropriations for each fund and in aggregate, and become effective Jan. 1, 2027 ¹.
• The proposed 2027 property tax levy ordinance would keep the regular levy at the 2026 level of $12,284,114.08, a 0% increase, excluding new construction, state-assessed utilities, and refund levies ¹.

Why it matters

The proposed 2027 levy would keep the city's regular property tax levy at the 2026 amount of $12,284,114.08, a 0% increase, excluding revenue from new construction, state-assessed utilities, and refund levies ¹. The budget ordinance would adopt the 2027-2028 biennial budget by reference and become effective Jan. 1, 2027 ¹. For residents, the levy proposal concerns the city's stated regular property-tax amount for 2027, while the budget ordinance concerns two years of city spending [analysis].
