The City of Madison, Wisconsin Finance Committee convened on September 28, 2026, to discuss and approve the 2027 capital budget along with six proposed amendments. Key procurement-related discussions included the allocation of funds for land acquisition to support future police and fire stations, resurfacing of the West Main Street Bike Boulevard, and the full funding for approximately 220 police body-worn cameras, partially supported by a federal grant and community foundation contributions. Additional amendments addressed the timing of borrowing for police portable radios and the use of existing funds for passenger rail station development, including local match requirements for federal grants. All amendments and the capital budget were unanimously approved and will proceed to the city council for further consideration.
