Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Pewaukee public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Boat slip pricing for the 2028 season
June and July Laimon Park financials were approved. Gas sales are running below the $81,000 budget, but the boat launch fee increase from $7 to $10 is expected to hit the $10,000 revenue target.
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.
