Sturgis Council Reviews 2027 Budget Following Oct. 19 First Reading
Sturgis city leaders are reviewing the community's finances after approving the first reading of the 2027 budget at their Oct. 19 meeting. The proposed plan includes $10.38 million in general fund spending, but early figures revealed a revenue gap exceeding $1 million. Staff have proposed raising fees for services like ambulance transport and community center access to address the shortfall. If adopted, these measures could shift a projected deficit into a surplus, reducing reliance on motorcycle rally revenue.
