# Kenosha County Board Meeting, November 5, 2026

Kenosha County Board meeting, November 5, 2026: The board unanimously approved the 2027 county budget. Supervisors cited a tax levy increase below 3% (reported as approximately 2.94%–2.96%), and one supervisor noted Brookside’s $500,000 contribution toward the levy. A motion to reduce a budget figure from 130 to 124 was not seconded. Supervisors also discussed funding two specialized sheriff’s office investigators for child sexual abuse material cases; another supervisor said they would request a report on sheriff’s overtime costs and staffing issues. No vendor selection or contract award was identified.

The board also unanimously approved three capital-related resolutions: Resolution 65, described as $10,005,000 for general capital funding, including roads; Resolution 66, authorizing up to $21,450,000 in general obligation promissory notes for budgeted capital projects, including road and highway improvements; and Resolution 67, authorizing up to $15,035,000 in notes for the Kenosha shoreline restoration project. These actions authorize financing for capital projects rather than award construction contracts.
