Voters can expect to see a city operational referendum question on their April ballots

JANESVILLE — Voters will see another referendum on the April 2027 ballot — but not for development on the GM/JATCO site. Instead, it will be to help fund city operations for the 2028 budget. Under state statute, the city’s annual increase to its property tax levy is limited to net new construction — or how much the city is currently building or developing that year. Janesville is currently facing an issue of costs rising at a faster rate than the city can legally raise its total tax levy. City Finance Director Dave Godek said the city’s operating costs have consistently grown faster than its ability to increase property tax revenue. From 2015 to 2025, the Consumer Price Index increased 32.88%, while net new construction in Janesville increased 17.27%, creating a gap of more than 15 percentage points. The difference has made it increasingly difficult for the city to maintain existing services while balancing its budget. During the city’s 2027 process, staff presented a budget that required a $621,989 draw from the city’s fund balance to meet the needs in the $64.9 million budget. Godek said the city has the ability to use its reserves to help balance the 2027 budget,
