The Budget Hearing for the Village of Hampton, NE was held September 14, 2026 at 7:05 p.m. The following is a condensed version of the minutes. A complete copy is available for inspection at the Village Office during business hours.
The following board members were present for Roll Call: James Parsley, Danielle Bamesberger, Kayla Gaughen, and Nick Faller. Jared Rojewski was absent.
The Nebraska Open Meetings Act was acknowledged.
The Budget Hearing was opened at 7:05 p.m. The Chairman read a statement from the Village Auditor summarizing the proposed budget. Total resources available are $8,849,298 and total budgeted disbursements are
$7,756,926. The cash reserve is $1,092,372. The Village’s proposed property tax request is $215,017. This amount will be used for non-bond purposes. No property taxes are being requested for bonded indebtedness. The proposed property tax request represents an increase of approximately 18 percent. The Village’s taxable valuation increased approximately 26 percent. Because taxable valuation increased more than the property tax request, the Village’s tax levy rate is actually proposed to decrease from .435105 to .407604. This represents a decrease of approximately 6 percent in the levy rate. The largest component of the proposed budget is capital improvements associated with the water utility including approximately $6.4 million of budgeted capital improvements. Other budgeted expenditures include general government operations, street activities, electric utility operations, water utility operations, wastewater operations, debt service, and other municipal services.
Motion by Faller, seconded by Bamesberger to close the Budget Hearing at 7:18 p.m. Motion carried 4-0. Rojewski absent.
Motion by Faller, seconded by Bamesberger to adjourn the Budget Hearing at 7:19 p.m. Motion carried 4-0. Rojewski absent.
