Ogdensburg residents were scheduled to comment Monday evening on the city’s proposed 2027 budget. The public hearing was set for 6 p.m. at City Hall.
The proposal would increase the tax levy by $149,310 and set the tax rate at $15.36 per $1,000 of assessed value. The plan is a revision of an earlier proposal that called for a $209,310 levy increase and a tax rate of about $15.52. City officials said the revised plan would use an additional $30,000 from the fund balance and reduce spending by a net $30,000. The City Council was expected to continue making changes before adopting the budget, with adoption expected Nov. 23.
