Top issues during term (20)
New single-family homes on South Broadway
City sells the lot; homes appraised around $310,000 expand the tax base.
Operator's license appeal and application disclosures
Potential loss of a neighborhood business; no direct city cost.
Grandview Industrial Park expansion
Up to $51,000 in TID 25 funds for the land purchase.
Firefighter candidate retention
Hiring costs weren't detailed, but filling police and fire positions affects the departments' budgets.
Sex offender residency appeals
Green Bay Packers Foundation grant for Conservation Corps
AmeriCorps crew members receive a $975 biweekly living allowance; partnership projects run $6,000-$7,500 per week.
2026 budget amendment for special events overtime
Uses budget authority for overtime not planned in the 2026 budget.
Police promotional processes (Commander, Captain, Detective)
Patrol officer hiring
Rewrite of alcohol beverage licensing code
Licensing revenue is standard for the city; no specific figure stated.
School food waste composting pilot
Pilot-scale only for now; any district-wide composting infrastructure would be a much larger future ask.
City Forester nuisance tree authority
No direct cost to the city — but violators could now face fines of $500 or more per tree.
Foraging in city parks
No direct cost; liability covered by existing recreational immunity.
Revolving loan fund health and delinquent borrower
No direct tax impact; the fund's repayment health determines future lending capacity.
Rotating sculpture program expansion and new public art installations
$90,000 in city funds goes to COZO Industries LLC for the sculpture.
May 2026 Traffic Safety Plan and June enforcement deployments
Grant funding for traffic enforcement is being renewed for the fiscal year beginning October 1.
Draft ordinances: overnight parking and second-cart fees
No cost estimate was discussed at the meeting.
Police and Fire Department staffing levels
The fire chief's budget requests — three firefighter reclassifications and up to two division chief positions — aim to cut overtime, while the departments are trying to stay under a 3% budget increase.
Broadway liquor licensing actions
Licensing revenue is standard for the city; no specific figure stated.
Overnight on-street parking reform
Parking citations generate about $3.2 million a year for the city, so loosening rules could affect that revenue.
