Personnel and Finance Committee
Two Rivers’ finance committee will begin weighing the 2027 budget’s biggest pressure points: library funding, debt payments and another round of capital borrowing.
Key Decisions
The committee will review a proposed 2027 borrowing plan for capital projects, a key early step in deciding what the city builds or replaces and how much debt taxpayers may ultimately support.
The committee will review the 2027 debt-service budget, which covers payments on city borrowing and will shape room for other city spending.
Proposed library budgets are on the agenda as the city continues its broader budget debate over how much tax support everyday services will receive.
Public Input
No public comments or communications recorded for this meeting.
Agenda Items
Presentation of Proposed Library Budgets
The committee will receive proposed library budgets for 2027. The agenda does not list dollar amounts, service changes or a recommended funding level, so residents will need the presentation to see what is being requested and what tradeoffs may be involved.
