Previously, each multi -tenant building was counted as a single inspection. Plan reviews for 2025 & 2026 now include building permit and planning reviews conducted internally by FFD staff, in addition to reviews conducted by Fire Safety Consultants, Inc. (FSCI). BUDGET SUMMARY: 1) Personnel Services: budgetary request reflects an anticipated year with all positions being filled (including the part-time Inspector position which was not filled from 2022- 2026) including annual increases, as per the collective bargaining agreement. We requested an additional 1.0 Paramedic/Firefighter FTE for 2027 to help maintain current service levels and response times for our rapidly growing community. The fire department strongly urges adding 1.0 Paramedic/Firefighter annually for the next six years to increase minimum staffing at Fire Station 2. With the skyrocketing development on the south side of the city, routine staffing of 2 personnel at Fire Station 2 is increasingly dangerous and risks lengthy response times when multiple calls for service are received concurrently. The proposed additional personnel would add a daily response unit at Fire Station 2, City of Franklin, WI 2027 Fire and Fire Protection (Updated 9/29/2026) 157 adding depth and response capability for the rapidly growing and isolated south portion of the city. Because of the required “matching-fund” requirements introduced in 2025, the FEMA “Staffing for Adequate Fire and Emergency Response” (SAFER) grant program is not a viable alternative to fund the number of positions needed to qualify for the grant. 2) Contractual Services: reflects funds needed to pay outside contractors for services that FFD personnel are unable to complete in-house. Examples include billing for ambulance transports; vehicle and equipment repair and maintenance beyond the capability of DPW and/or FFD staff; technology software licenses; and fees for use of the county OASIS public safety radio system. These budget lines reflect 2026 usage and expected cost increases. This account is also used to pay outside contractors for maintenance/repairs of FD vehicles. FFD strives to proactively service and maintain all vehicles, maximizing the service life of the entire fleet while staying within budget. However, the overall age of our fire apparatus fleet is past its expected service life due to widespread delays in delivering new fire apparatus and ambulances. This account is difficult to budget for because it varies greatly from year to year, and one major breakdown is all it takes to overspend this budget line. 3) Supplies: These lines are used to purchase supplies. Examples include office supplies, firefighting equipment, and emergency medical supplies for the ambulances. In prior years, the supply budget increased significantly due to the continued rise in the cost of medical supplies and medications. Many medications now cost several times what they did only a few years ago, and there are often shortages and backorders. The trend towards substantially higher drug and supply costs is therefore likely to continue in 2027; however, these costs are partially recouped in ambulance transport fees. The cyclic replacement of firefighter protective “Turnout gear” has also been included in the operating budget since 2023, rather than as an annual Capital Outlay request. Because this equipment has a mandated maximum 10-year service life, this format allows for better planning, management, and greater consistency in turnout gear acquisition. 4) Services and Charges: This category pays for telephone, cellular, and wireless fees, as well as schools, conferences, and rental fees for some equipment. Wireless services continue to play an increasingly critical role in sharing real-time data used in patient care records, computer-aided dispatch, GIS, and incident management software. In 2025, the FFD begins participating in a regional firefighter recruit training academy hosted by the Wauwatosa Fire Department. Funding for our participation in this training academy is included in this area as well. 5) Facility Charges: These lines cover the costs of natural gas, electric, sewer, water, and janitorial supplies for three fire stations. Cost reflects annual usage. Because our current fire stations are aging, our department has routinely depleted all Building Maintenance budget lines due to unforeseen repairs or replacement of major systems (i.e., HVAC) when required (as was the case over the past several years).

The Department also enforces deferred maintenance and building-related code violations, conducts liquor license inspections, updates codes and ordinances, completes open records requests, and assists with zoning administration. The Department further coordinates with the Planning, Engineering, Health, and Fire Departments when issuing permits. The Department also supports the Director of Administration in managing construction projects for Municipal Building issues. SERVICES: • Generally, the Department issues between 3,000 and 4,000 construction permits per year. • Responds to citizen inquiries and complaints concerning construction, permit intake procedures, code interpretations, erosion control, and other department-related information. • Responds to and enforces complaints submitted. • Assists with the management of Municipal Buildings and capital improvements to facilities.

There is an anticipated increase in new multi-family and commercial projects. The inspection totals do not account for “multiple-discipline” (building, HVAC, plumbing, and electrical) inspections completed by one (1) multi-credentialed inspector during the same visit. To improve operational efficiency, and when appropriate, Inspection Services schedules one (1) inspector to perform “multiple-discipline” inspection(s) rather than sending multiple inspectors to the same site for separate inspections. This would typically occur for equipment replacement inspections, small alteration/remodeling projects, additions, new homes, and residential and commercial re-inspections. At the same time (as time allows), senior staff will conduct on-site training during regular inspections to cross-train less experienced inspectors and deploy resources effectively. This practice has significantly improved the Department's operational efficiency. BUDGET SUMMARY: 1) Permits continue to remain steady thus far in 2026; the year-to-date (YTD) numbers are up slightly from 2025. 2) Construction for Cape Crossing’s third and final phase is nearing completion. Several projects could potentially start later this year as well. 3) Residential Projects: Ryan Meadows Condominium and LEO Cottages will total over 200 units permitted. The POTHS mixed-use project is also starting, including nine multi- family, five accessory, and up to three commercial buildings, which is projected to start in 2026. If any of the above fails to progress this year, 2027 could be a favorable year. 168 BUDGET REPORT FOR CITY OF FRANKLIN 2024 ACTIVITY 2025 ACTIVITY 2026 ORIGINAL BUDGET 2026 PROJECTED ACTIVITY 2027 DEPT REQUEST BUDGET 2027 MAYOR RECOMMEND BUDGETDESCRIPTIONGL NUMBER Fund: 01 GENERAL FUND ESTIMATED REVENUES Dept 0231 - INSPECTION SERVICES MISCELLANEOUS DISABILITY PAY REIMBURSEMENT01-0231-4781 MISCELLANEOUS Totals for dept 0231 - INSPECTION SERVICES TOTAL ESTIMATED REVENUES APPROPRIATIONS Dept 0231 - INSPECTION SERVICES PERSONNEL SERVICES 548,978 561,535 595,016 600,374 610,919 610,919 SALARIES-FT01-0231-5111 SALARIES-PT01-0231-5113 17,417 SEVERANCE PAYMENTS01-0231-5114 2,830 SALARIES-TEMP01-0231-5115 991 979 6,500 1,000 6,500 6,500 SALARIES-OT01-0231-5117 3,323 4,403 4,000 1,000 2,000 2,000 COMPTIME TAKEN01-0231-5118 780 690 920 920 960 960 LONGEVITY01-0231-5133 31,851 34,892 36,278 36,498 37,227 37,227 HOLIDAY PAY01-0231-5134 51,080 39,992 40,240 40,539 43,022 43,022 VACATION PAY01-0231-5135 47,191 48,975 52,246 52,045 53,598 53,598 FICA01-0231-5151 40,364 42,309 47,295 47,107 48,837 48,837 RETIREMENT01-0231-5152 1,735 1,233 1,078 2,033 2,212 2,212 RETIREE GROUP HEALTH01-0231-5153 98,209 90,383 96,596 85,599 101,400 101,400 GROUP HEALTH & DENTAL01-0231-5154 1,807 1,959 2,281 1,670 1,701 1,701 LIFE INSURANCE01-0231-5155 8,965 8,282 10,110 11,523 9,480 9,480 WORKERS COMPENSATION INS01-0231-5156 EMPLOYER HSA CONTRIBUTION01-0231-5162 COVID LABOR & BENES NOT GRANT FUNDED01-0231-5180 835,274 855,879 892,560 880,308 917,856 917,856 PERSONNEL SERVICES NON PERSONNEL SERVICES 2,000 1,500 OTHER PROFESSIONAL SERVICES01-0231-5219 1,911 1,897 2,150 2,150 2,250 2,250 EQUIPMENT MAINTENANCE01-0231-5242 SOFTWARE MAINTENANCE01-0231-5257 1,600 1,020 2,000 1,200 2,000 2,000 SUNDRY CONTRACTORS01-0231-5299 2,725 2,272 2,300 2,300 2,100 2,100 OFFICE SUPPLIES01-0231-5312 64 784 700 700 700 700 PRINTING01-0231-5313 2,978 2,971 3,000 2,975 3,000 3,000 STATE SEALS01-0231-5316 699 677 800 800 800 800 HOUSE NUMBERS01-0231-5317 1,614 1,859 1,750 1,750 1,750 1,750 UNIFORMS01-0231-5326 131 1,000 150 1,000 1,000 EDUCATION SUPPLIES01-0231-5328 500 500 500 OPERATING SUPPLIES01-0231-5329 169 BUDGET REPORT FOR CITY OF FRANKLIN 2024 ACTIVITY 2025 ACTIVITY 2026 ORIGINAL BUDGET 2026 PROJECTED ACTIVITY 2027 DEPT REQUEST BUDGET 2027 MAYOR RECOMMEND BUDGETDESCRIPTIONGL NUMBER Fund: 01 GENERAL FUND APPROPRIATIONS Dept 0231 - INSPECTION SERVICES NON PERSONNEL SERVICES 3,947 3,469 4,000 4,000 4,200 4,200 FUEL/LUBRICANTS01-0231-5331 2,220 2,332 2,600 2,600 2,700 2,700 VEHICLE SUPPORT01-0231-5332 2,972 3,227 3,300 2,850 3,000 3,000 TELEPHONE01-0231-5415 50 OFFICIAL NOTICES/ADVERTISING01-0231-5421 SUBSCRIPTIONS01-0231-5422 873 1,628 1,500 1,500 1,700 1,700 MEMBERSHIPS/DUES01-0231-5424 2,542 6,660 6,000 150 5,500 4,000 CONFERENCES & SCHOOLS01-0231-5425 1,835 1,930 2,000 2,000 2,100 2,100 ALLOCATED INSURANCE COST01-0231-5428 MILEAGE & TECHNOLOGY01-0231-5432 500 EQUIPMENT RENTAL01-0231-5433 UNRESTRICTED CONTINGENCY01-0231-5499 BUILDING MAINTENANCE-OTHER01-0231-5559.9999 25,980 30,857 36,150 25,125 34,800 31,800 NON PERSONNEL SERVICES 861,254 886,736 928,710 905,433 952,656 949,656 Totals for dept 0231 - INSPECTION SERVICES 861,254 886,736 928,710 905,433 952,656 949,656 TOTAL APPROPRIATIONS (861,254)(886,736)(928,710)(905,433)(952,656)(949,656)NET OF REVENUES/APPROPRIATIONS - FUND 01 170 SE ALER OF WEIGHTS AND MEASURES 239 DEPARTMENT: Sealer of Weights and Measures PROGRAM MANAGER: Director of Clerk Services PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: The City contracts with the State of Wisconsin for required weight inspections and measuring devices to ensure conformance with applicable regulations.
