City of Montague Fiscal Year 2025/26 Budget

The City of Montague's proposed budget for the fiscal year starting July 1, 2025, includes a reduction in the millage rate from 16.00 mills to 15.75 mills. The budget focuses on reducing the millage, stabilizing cash flow, and continuing parks projects. Key highlights include lowering the property tax millage rate, allocating funds for updates to the City's Zoning Ordinance, assigning funds for the Montague Drain / Buttermilk Creek Watershed project, and appropriating funds for street lighting improvements. The budget also includes continued improvements to parks, renovations at City Hall, and transfers to major and local street funds. Additionally, the budget addresses lead service line replacements, maintenance at City wells, and service line installations in the sewer fund. The Downtown Development Authority (DDA) will continue to support maintenance activities and property improvements in the downtown area. The equipment fund is prioritized to complete payment for a new plow truck, and the Public Works facility needs a roof repair.
