Belmont considers tax hike amid 10 year rate stability
Belmont City Council weighs a proposed tax increase to fund long overdue capital needs while aiming to avoid revenue gaps. Councilman Ryan Schrift argues for addressing sewer and water infrastructure, crosswalks, and park services as the town debates funding sources beyond a potential levy. Councilman Richard Turner suggests reallocating 310000 from enterprise to general fund for two years plus new state revenue options, while Miller notes the city has run surpluses but faces rising capital costs. The move would not alter Belmont’s fourth highest tax rate among local municipalities.
