BID Board - November 11, 2026

The City of West Bend BID Board met on November 11, 2026. The board approved the October 6 meeting minutes with a correction to the record of one member’s vote, and approved the financial report. The report noted savings from purchasing downtown decorations and snowflakes at a sale price; a donation-line balance was corrected to $718. Staff also said they would provide receipts for previously allocated event-marketing funds before month-end. No contract awards, vendor selections, or bid approvals were discussed.

The board debated whether to cancel the winter 2026–27 façade grant period and move the funds to spring 2027, citing the stronger application volume and ability to compare projects in the spring. After an initial vote to shift the funds was reconsidered, a motion was made and seconded to keep the application period open as previously announced; the transcript does not capture the final vote. The board also reviewed downtown events and the tree-lighting ceremony, and discussed the proposed 2027 meeting calendar without taking a recorded action on it.
