The Village of Waukesha held a public hearing and budget meeting on November 12, 2026, to consider its 2027 budget. The board approved the general, fire department, capital, and debt service budgets in one vote, then separately approved the 2027 property tax levy. The proposed general budget was $3,875,364, described as balanced and 1.62% higher than the prior year. The transcript’s levy figure is unclear, so no amount is reported here.

Capital spending includes $500,000 for roads and funding toward a new public works plow truck; the board noted a truck might not be delivered in 2027. A possible vendor had expressed interest in soliciting the truck setup work, but no vendor was selected and no contract was awarded. The capital budget total was stated as $5.3 million. The budget also includes an estimated $40,000 for village planning services to review the comprehensive plan, expected to be a one-time expense, and anticipates possible TIF loans or grants to properties in the district. Debt service covers repayment of existing loans; no additional procurement actions were identified.
