Citywide 2027 budget approval

The combined budgets cover essentially all city spending for the coming year, which drives the property tax bill for every Appleton homeowner.

Increased Penalties for Unnecessary Noise

Affected drivers could pay roughly $483 to $1,176 per citation once court fees are added.

Excessive vehicular noise data collection

Unknown until staff return with cost options in 90 days.

Resolution #16-R-26: Limits on ALPR cameras

Any expert analysis would likely be paid from ARPA funds on a not-to-exceed hourly basis, with substantial costs going through the finance committee.

Private School Voucher Funding Transparency

No direct cost — it's about disclosure of the existing school levy on tax bills.

Alcohol license violation convictions — five establishments

Potential license suspensions could affect the businesses involved.

Lead Water Service Line Replacement

$78,500 max, mostly covered by a state grant rather than local taxes.

Veterans Park Renaming

Mostly signage and administrative costs, if any; no major dollar figure given.

Wastewater Treatment Plant Building R Renovation

Contract total not to exceed $198,490, funded by shifting $100,000 within the wastewater utility — no new money from taxpayers.

COPS Technology and Equipment Grant

Roughly $450,000 in federal grant funding for police equipment, with no local match indicated.

2027 Health Department budget and federal grant cuts

Unknown — budget materials weren't available.

2027 CDBG funding and community needs

Federal CDBG allocation amount for 2027 hasn't been set yet.

Chapter 17 Subdivisions Code Rewrite

Testimony noted stormwater engineering costs have jumped from roughly $500 to $3,000 per lot since 2017, and approvals that took 4-6 months now take a year or more.

Roosevelt Street 2028 Reconstruction Design

Part of the city's 2028 paving program; narrowing the street is a cost-saving measure.

Alderperson salary adjustments

A freeze would save budget dollars; any raise would take effect for future terms, not current alders.

2027 Library Budget

Library operating funding stays flat in the 2027 budget, with no added dollars for staff development.

Zoning Code Overhaul Including ADUs and JADUs

Expected to grow the property tax base through infill development without expanding city footprint.

Reid Golf Course September finances

The course is about $60,000 ahead of last year in gross revenue, easing pressure on city support.

Unknown for now — the moratorium is just headed to committee for study.
