Strum Village Board approves 2026 budget

STRUM - The Village Board of Strum approved its 2026 budget at a special meeting of the Board held back on Nov. 24 at the Village Civic Center.

A public hearing on the budget was held beforehand. The Village will be spending $1,084,833,62 in 2026 with the levy set at $467,683. Both were approved by the Board.

The November meeting of the Board took place back on the 10th in the Civic Center. There were several zoning and or permit requests before the Board. Noah Stayton & Melody Morse resubmitted their request to build a fence and this was approved unanimously. However the Board denied an application for re-zoning agricultural land on the outskirts of town to industrial as the request was deemed in committee to be being incomplete, and the requested information not being presented.

Zoning Commissioner Nick Gamroth presented a detailed explanation to the board about parcels, lots and how each other effects the other. And why when residents request to have parcels combined, it is more
carefully looked over at how it may impact the future.

The Board also approved the election commissioners for 2026-27 and tabled a motion on selling an old village snowplow,
