Homeowners would see tax increase with proposed budget; City Manager Announces Resignation
Minot’s city council just passed a preliminary 2026 budget that lowers overall spending but raises property taxes sharply — prompting questions about whether it sidesteps the state’s 3% tax cap. While the budget boosts funding for police and fire services, it still leans on reserves and defers big infrastructure projects. The meeting also brought another big development: City Manager Harold Stewart is stepping down in September, closing a chapter that saw both progress and challenges. Residents will soon get a chance to weigh in at a public hearing next month. Jill Schramm with Minot Daily News has the full story.
