The City of Waukesha’s Finance Committee will hold a special meeting to review the 2012 budget that was released last week at 6:30 p.m. Thursday at the City Hall Common Council Chambers. It will be televised on TV 25.
Waukesha’s budget does not include an increase in the tax levy and now includes a garbage pickup fee.
It also includes a 2.43 percent spending decrease when compared to last year and the city eliminated $3.6 million from its budget due to reductions in state aid. We’ll take a further look at the 2012 budget in next week’s Waukesha NOW.
The Waukesha Public Library Board will also meet at 4:45 p.m. on the 2nd Floor Board Room to discuss and take action regarding modifications to the 2012 budget. The board will also give an update on plans they have for promoting and celebrating their 2011 Wisconsin Library of the year honor.
An update will also be given on the 2011 Waukesha Reads program, which kicked off a couple weeks ago and goes until the end of the month.
At last night’s Plan Commission meeting, the commission approved many items for the new Woodman’s Food Market that would be at the former Spancrete site on East Main Street and Highway 164. The commission approved a Tax Incremental Financing District for the site.
The Commission also approved adding a 787.5 square foot addition at the Fletcher Arms gun shop, located at 1441 E. Main St. This was in part due to the overflow of customers coming for the new concealed carry law that goes into effect on Nov. 1.
