# 09/15/2026 - Public Safety and Public Works Committees

The City of West Allis Public Safety and Public Works Committees met on September 15, 2026, to discuss several procurement and public works projects. Key procurement-related discussions included approval of a $44,000 contract with Kale Engineering for the design of the South Power Line Trail bike trail, funded by a community development block grant with construction planned for 2027 using a Rails to Trails grant at no local cost. The committees also reviewed and approved updates to the 2027 special assessment rates for various street and service drive categories, recommending a 3% increase. Additionally, the Public Safety Committee considered multiple special event permit requests, including temporary extensions of premises for events at Slingshot Bar, with conditions on noise levels and hours of operation. Motions to approve the trail design contract, special assessment rates, and event permits with amendments were passed during the meeting.
