Proposed 2027 City Budget

Property tax levy rises $609,450 (1.83%), roughly $98 a year on an average-assessed home.

Effectively no net cost — a state grant covers the work.

2026 road, drainage and sidewalk improvements

$717,772 drainage contract plus an $84,485 road contract change order.

Landmark designation of the First Presbyterian Church (7 North Lane)

The designation itself costs nothing, but landmark rules will shape any future renovation or maintenance of the building.

$717,772 contract, funded through the capital bond.

Federal and State Police Grants

Covers about $1.16 million of police equipment and facility upgrades with grant money.

Failed $4.9M bond ordinance for capital improvements

$4.9 million in borrowing — about $2 million less than last year — but delayed projects could cost more if bid prices rise.

Unknown — cleanup is state-led, but property values and health costs fall on residents.

Commercial building permit fee increase

Raises costs for commercial builders, adding revenue to the city.

Electric Vehicle Charging Fees

New charging revenue at $0.40/kWh covers city costs after the state grant ended.

Higher parking fines add an estimated $205,000 in police department revenue in the 2027 budget.

Abandoned vehicle time limits on public streets

Unknown — any new enforcement would carry minor administrative costs.

Hotel occupancy tax uncertainty

Budget shifts $150,000 out of the hotel tax line but still counts on some of that revenue.

early voting

Expect some added city spending on staffing and running City Hall as an early voting site, though the notice doesn’t put a dollar figure on it.

Federal ICE enforcement activity in Glen Cove

Speaker cited a $4.7 million school budget gap partly attributed to enrollment decline linked to enforcement fears.
