Top issues during term (20)
DPW Highway Building Land Purchase Repayment
$129,000 per year for ten years; paying it off at once would drop the fund balance to roughly 20-22%.
Sewer Rate Increase for 2027
Sewer bills will go up next quarter — the exact amount hasn't been set yet.
Open-Air Pavilion Funded from Dormant Dog Park Savings
About $29,000 in existing dedicated dog-park funds stays unspent for now; the $16,000 city fund has sat idle since 2015.
Swimming pools in the shoreland setback
No direct cost to the city, but impervious surface and shoreline development rules affect stormwater and lake quality.
2027 Pewaukee Lake Patrol Budget
Unknown — the request amount was not detailed in the available packet.
Bluemound Road Corridor Redevelopment
No city cost; conditions may add site improvement expenses for the applicant.
City Administrator recruitment and interviews
The vacation provisions affect accrued benefits; no unusual salary terms were cited.
2027 utility and public works budgets
Expect possible utility rate increases and a $16 million year-over-year jump in the 2028 water/sewer capital plan.
Proposed 2027 City Budget
About $6 more per year on a $250,000 assessment; levy up $126,208 overall.
Boat slip pricing for the 2028 season
Laimon fund balance is about $422,000; gas sales may come in below the $81,000 budget but launch fee revenue is up.
2027 Parks and Recreation budget
Higher-than-expected 2026 water costs, offset by savings in other park line items.
Village of Sussex Emergency Water Interconnect
No cost expected for Pewaukee; Sussex pays for the interconnect.
Ambulance Revenue Overpayments to Partner Communities
An unquantified but material receivable owed back to the city by two neighboring municipalities.
Sheriff's Contract and Body Camera Costs
About $43,000 in the police services contract line this year, expected to rise annually.

2027 Garbage and Recycling Rates
Households pay $234 for 2027 collection, up 5.1% from 2026.
2025 City Audit
Audit costs and staff time continue while open items remain; fixing allocation processes could reduce audit prep costs next year.
