At last week’s Red Wing City Council meeting, the City's seven Council members tried to reach a compromise on the 2025 budget and levy.
The Council has been discussing a levy in which the increase on an average-valued house in Red Wing ($299,000) would be $1.17 more per month ($14 for the year).
Some Council members, including Don Kliewer and Ron Goggin, want to cut the budget and levy more, and they shared their ideas for how to reach that lower amount.
Kliewer brought up the idea of cutting the levy to 3-5% increase.
Ideas from the Council included cutting seasonal park workers in half next summer, not snow plowing large city parks this winter, not irrigating public green spaces, cutting the Mississippi Links Golf Club allotment, not adding a planned sidewalk along North Service Drive (the street in front of Target and McDonalds), cutting city funding to smaller festivals, and turning specific commissions into non-funded committees.
The Council will meet on Monday, November 12 to try again to reach an agreement.
