Boat slip pricing for the 2028 season

Joint Pewaukee Library 2027 Budget
The library is asking for $920,500, including a $20,000 wage buffer pending a compensation study and a $10,000 maintenance increase for the aging village-owned building. Council debated whether city taxpayers should fund ongoing upkeep of the village's building and suggested a ten-year capital savings plan.
Open-Air Pavilion Funded from Dormant Dog Park Savings
Staff proposed spending about $16,000 in existing dog-park funds on temporary fencing at Balmer Park or other sites, but the board rejected it 3-2 over concerns it's not a real dog park, would be hard to enforce, and could burn donor money needed for a permanent facility.
