2027 Pewaukee Lake Patrol Budget
The Lake Patrol's 2027 budget request was up for council review. Lake Patrol services affect safety and enforcement on Pewaukee Lake.
Sheriff's Contract and Body Camera Costs
The county is billing contract municipalities — Pewaukee, Sussex, and Lisbon — roughly $43,000 for deputy body cameras instead of paying for them from the county budget. One alderperson argued the county shifted its promised cost onto contract communities, including for mutual aid use outside the city.
Lakeview Boat Launch Cameras
New cameras and a license plate-style system are coming to the boat launch to crack down on launch fees going unpaid, alongside new online payment options — with some 'bugs' to work out since the launch doubles as a road.
Ambulance Revenue Overpayments to Partner Communities
The third-party ambulance billing vendor gave the city bad data, and Lisbon and the Village of Pewaukee were overpaid. The city recorded a receivable and now has to claw the money back from both communities.
