The City of Muskego Committee of the Whole met on October 13, 2026, to discuss capital and operating budgets, focusing on road funding. Members reviewed a projected general-fund carryover of about $1.2 million and clarified that road borrowing is held in separate Fund 401 and can only be spent on the road program. The 2026 road program has $2.5 million in capital borrowing and $375,000 in operating funds; the proposed 2027 budget removes the operating contribution. Members discussed restoring $375,000 for roads from fund balance and developing a policy to guide future contributions, potentially limiting them to the lesser of $375,000 or 50% of the prior year’s surplus. No motion or vote was taken on these funding proposals.

The discussion also clarified that a $286,000 Mosquito Dam Road project includes a $257,400 Wisconsin grant, leaving a city share of $28,600. Staff indicated that road-program borrowing and any unspent balance would remain dedicated to roads. No contract awards, vendor selections, or bid approvals were identified. Members also requested that budget materials be made accessible online; the meeting notice date was corrected to October 9, 2026.
