2027 operating budget review begins

This is where next year's property tax-backed spending and city service levels get decided — the full dollar impact wasn't broken out at this session.

WEDC Small Business Development Grant application

Costs for glass and hinge work were shared between the tenant and the building owner.

Raised bike and pedestrian bridges

City share of design is about $279,200; construction could cost $18-19 million total.

City Hall monument sign rehabilitation

Cost covered by the city's insurance rather than the general budget.

Multi-family development on School District land near Oakdale Drive

The site is currently tax-exempt school district land, so any development would add it to the tax rolls — the developer touts a roughly $60 million investment, though no tax impact estimates exist yet.

Neighborhood traffic and safety referrals

Sign and study costs not stated.

Sale of city-owned Big Bend Road property

Selling the parcel could return land to the tax roll or generate revenue for the city.

Prairie Home Cemetery operations and services

Levy support is $88,661, unchanged for over a decade; costs covered largely by sales and services.

2027-2031 Community Investment Program

The plan shapes future utility infrastructure spending that eventually factors into water rates.

E-bikes and e-cycles damaging parks and streets

Repairing torn-up diamonds costs park staff time and money; no dollar figure given.

Employee PTO, holiday, and retiree insurance policy changes

Vacation leave policies affect the library's personnel costs, though specific figures weren't discussed.

Multi-family development at Elkhart Drive terminus

No cost or tax-base figures are available at this conceptual stage.

Snow and ice removal ordinance update

Higher fines ($50 plus admin fees) for repeat sidewalk non-clearance.

General Manager leadership transition

GM and operations position labor is included in the 2027 budget, contributing to a 16% compensation increase (4.7% adjusted for vacancies).

TIF assistance for Les Paul Parkway housing development

Housing shortages raise costs for both renters and homeowners, per the city's housing study.

Library Facility Investments

The rejected bids exceeded the budgeted amount; a lower-cost restoration kit is being pursued.

2027 water rate increase

A pause could delay higher water bills for customers pending the Milwaukee rate outcome.

S.J. Louis Construction v. City of Waukesha litigation

Attorney fees for the lawsuit are budgeted in the 2027 outside services account of about $311,000.

Disposal of five water utility properties

A combined $569,000 for demolition of the two well structures.

Possible demolition of Water Utility building at 445 W. Newhall Ave.

Demolition would cost taxpayers money through the water utility, and one member suggested selling the building cheaply instead to save both the structure and the demolition cost.
