Oshkosh Common Council 2027 Budget Public Hearing - 10/27/26

The City of Oshkosh Common Council held a public hearing on the proposed 2027 city budget on October 27, 2026. Staff reviewed department accomplishments and plans, fiscal pressures, and the proposed budget, including a roughly $1.5 million property-tax levy increase (described by a council member as about 3%). The presentation cited approximately $3.5 million each in contingency and applied fund balance in the proposed budget. No budget adoption or procurement award vote occurred at the hearing; staff said changes would need to be submitted in advance of the council’s anticipated November vote. A resident asked about projected parking-violation revenue and community-development service-charge revenue, and staff offered to follow up with details.
