(Updated 9/29/2026) 202 HEALTH 411 DEPARTMENT: Health PROGRAM MANAGER: Director of Health Services PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: The Franklin Health Department promotes community health through services focused on disease prevention and health education. The mission of the Franklin Health Department (FHD) is to protect and promote health and well-being within the Franklin community through disease prevention and Health Education. FHD works to achieve this mission by providing core public health functions: assessment, policy development, and assurance. KEY PROGRAM FUNCTIONS: • Assessment: Collect and analyze health data to identify risks, trends, and unmet needs, collaborating with policymakers and healthcare providers to address community health concerns. • Policy Development: Create policies driven by data and community feedback, as outlined in the Franklin Community Health Assessment and Improvement Plan, which engages regional partners and residents to strengthen public health initiatives. • Assurance: Ensure quality health services and maintain Level III Health Department status. Core services include communicable disease control, emergency preparedness, health promotion, and environmental health services. The FHD completes annual reporting on public health data, addressing communicable disease control, chronic disease and injury prevention, environmental public health, family health, and access and linkages to health services as required by Wisconsin State Statute. This is achieved through regular community health assessments, engagement with the local public health system, evidence-informed resources and practices, and ongoing evaluation. SERVICES: • Communicable disease surveillance and control • Emergency preparedness and response • Environmental Health Services (radon kits, well water kits, sharps disposal, lead hazard assessments, rabies control, animal bites, etc.) • Health promotion through health education programming and classes • Health Screenings (blood pressure, tuberculosis skin tests, public school hearing & vision) • Human health hazard control • Linkages to services and/or access to health care needs • Management of health priorities through coalition facilitation • Maternal Child Health Services • Nursing services • Restaurant, retail food, hotel, motel, public pool inspection and licensing • Social Service Referral case management • Tobacco and Alcohol retailer compliance checks City of Franklin, WI 2027 Health (Updated 9/29/2026) 203 STAFFING: The FHD consists of qualified public health professionals who carry out core public health competencies, which are regularly reviewed. Quality improvement is an ongoing process, supported by continued training and resource review, to ensure the department meets organizational performance measures and achieves its mission, vision, values, and strategic goals.

BUDGET SUMMARY: 1) Grant Funding: FHD actively seeks grants to support local health efforts. As of 2026, the American Rescue Plan (ARPA) grant award will have sunset, but the Public Health Infrastructure grant award is expected to extend into part of 2027. Fewer FHD staff trained in grant writing may limit the department’s ability to apply for future grant funding opportunities. 2) Drug-Free Communities Grant & Opioid Settlement Dollars: This $125,000 annual grant, which has supported Volition Franklin Coalition since 2016, will be sunsetting in 2026. Substance misuse prevention programming will be sustained through City Opioid Settlement dollars. 3) Operating and Capital Budget: A slight operating budget increase of $1,030 is requested for 2027 to cover anticipated cost increases in the medical supplies and mileage categories. No capital budget requests were made. 4) Health Inspection & Environmental Health Services: As the City of Franklin continues to experience economic expansion with a greater number of restaurants, retail food establishments, and large-scale events with mobile and transient retail food licensing requirements, additional environmental health services FTEs will be needed to maintain inspection requirements as an Agent of the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP).

Franklin participates with other Milwaukee County municipalities in supporting the regional system, which provides stray animal intake, housing, care, and related animal-control services in accordance with applicable requirements. BUDGET SUMMARY: Franklin's annual contribution supports its allocated share of MADACC's operating, capital, and debt-service requirements. Because these services are provided through the regional system rather than directly by the City, annual costs are primarily driven by MADACC's adopted budget, participating-municipality allocation methodology, capital needs, and debt obligations. The regi onal model provides Franklin with access to animal intake, sheltering, care, and related services without maintaining a separate municipal animal shelter. The 2027 budget continues the City's participation in MADACC and funds Franklin's share of these services. 207 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 0431 - ANIMAL CONTROL NON PERSONNEL SERVICES 12,415 13,696 14,235 14,235 15,000 15,000 MADACC Shared Debt Payment01-0431-5291 33,603 27,888 25,250 25,250 26,000 26,000 ANIMAL SHELTER01-0431-5295 46,018 41,584 39,485 39,485 41,000 41,000 NON PERSONNEL SERVICES 46,018 41,584 39,485 39,485 41,000 41,000 Totals for dept 0431 - ANIMAL CONTROL 46,018 41,584 39,485 39,485 41,000 41,000 TOTAL APPROPRIATIONS (46,018)(41,584)(39,485)(39,485)(41,000)(41,000)NET OF REVENUES/APPROPRIATIONS - FUND 01 208 CULTURE and RECREATION 521, 529, 541 DEPARTMENT: Culture and Recreation PROGRAM MANAGER: Director of Administration and Director of Clerk Services PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: The Culture and Recreation programs supports community connection, engagement, and quality of life through senior programming and two of Franklin's longstanding community celebrations. Recreation activities include Senior Programs (521), St. Martins Fair (529), and the Independence Day Civic Celebration (541). These programs are supported through a combination of City resources, program or event revenues, volunteers, commissions, and interdepartmental coordination. SENIOR PROGRAMS DEPT 521: Senior Programs include Franklin Senior Citizens, Inc. (FSCI) and the Senior Travel Program. FSCI provides monthly luncheons and other activities that promote social connection and engagement among Franklin's senior residents. The Senior Travel Program offers organized regional outings and entertainment opportunities designed to provide accessible recreational and social experiences. Together, these programs give seniors regular opportunities to stay active and connected to the community. ST. MARTINS FAIR DEPT 529: Starting in 2010, St. Martin’s Fair activities are recorded in a separate special revenue fund, and any tax levy support will be shown in this budget. The Clerk’s office issues sales permits and coordinates oversight of the fairs with various City departments. In 2019, the Common Council amended the Municipal Code to eliminate the fairs held on the first Monday of each month; therefore, only the Labor Day event (first Monday in September and preceding Sunday) will be held, effective July 1, 2019. The Fair Commission oversees the fairs and monitors and inspects vendors. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Labor Day Fair was not held in 2020. However, the St. Martin’s Fair did resume on September 5 and 6, 2021.

The community event may include a parade, live entertainment, food vendors, children's activities, fireworks, and other programming. The City Clerk's Office provides administrative support to the Commission and coordinates with Police, Fire, DPW, Administration, and other participants to support safe and successful event operations. The City Clerk's Office accounts for related revenues and expenditures separately in the applicable special revenue fund. 210 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 0521 - RECREATION TRANSFERS - OUT To Civic Celebrations 30,000 30,000 30,000 FOOTNOTE AMOUNTS: 30,000 30,000 30,000 30,000 30,000 30,000 TSFR TO CIVIC CELEBRATN FD2901-0521-5590 30,000 30,000 30,000 30,000 30,000 30,000 TRANSFERS - OUT OTHER NON-OPERATING 20,072 19,867 22,000 SENIOR CITIZEN TRAVEL01-0521-5721 8,533 17,734 12,000 SENIOR CITIZEN ACTIVITIES01-0521-5723 28,605 37,601 34,000 OTHER NON-OPERATING 58,605 67,601 64,000 30,000 30,000 30,000 Totals for dept 0521 - RECREATION Dept 0529 - ST MARTINS FAIR-USE FUND 24 TRANSFERS - OUT To St Martin's Fair Fund 130,000 41,000 41,000 FOOTNOTE AMOUNTS: 41,000 41,000 130,000 130,000 41,000 41,000 TRANSFER TO OTHER FUNDS01-0529-5589 41,000 41,000 130,000 130,000 41,000 41,000 TRANSFERS - OUT 41,000 41,000 130,000 130,000 41,000 41,000 Totals for dept 0529 - ST MARTINS FAIR-USE FUND 24 99,605 108,601 194,000 160,000 71,000 71,000 TOTAL APPROPRIATIONS (99,605)(108,601)(194,000)(160,000)(71,000)(71,000)NET OF REVENUES/APPROPRIATIONS - FUND 01 211 PLANNING 621 DEPART MENT: Planning PROG RAM MANAGER: Planning Manager PROG RAM DESCRIPTION: The Planning Department oversees all planning, zoning, and land division activities for the City of Franklin, including site plan review, land divisions, zoning code enforcement, and comprehensive plan development and implementation. The Department provides development support and recommendations to the Mayor, Common Council, Plan Commission, Board of Zoning and Building Appeals, and Quarry Monitoring Committee, and provides policy support to the Parks Commission. The Dep artment administers the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) and leads the implementation of the Comprehensive Master Plan. Planning staff makes professional recommendations on development proposals as they advance through the review process and coordinates with agencies and City departments that deliver services to the public and may be affected by such development. Quarry monitoring funding is also provided through this budget. SERVIC ES: • Provide the City’s “public face” for citizens, property owners, businesses, and developers regarding land use and development. • Guide land development review activities, including pre-application meetings; reviewing development applications (concept plans, site plans, land divisions, rezonings, conditional uses, planned development districts, and variances); as well as preparing staff reports on such projects for various boards and commissions. • Administer the UDO, including preparation of amendments and enforcement. • Develop and implement the Comprehensive Master Plan, Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan, and any other long-range plans as adopted by the Common Council. • Provide staff support for the Plan Commission, Board of Zoning and Building Appeals, Quarry Monitoring Committee, and Parks Commission, and development-related support and recommendations to the Mayor and Common Council. • Assist the Community Development Authority and the Economic Development Commission in reviewing projects. • Provide oversight of quarry monitoring-related activities, coordinate with the City’s quarry monitoring consultant, provide staff support to the Quarry Monitoring Committee, and provide reports to the Common Council and Plan Commission. • Serve as the clearinghouse for zoning, planning, and development questions posed by elected officials, City boards and commissions, business representatives, property owners, and public members. • Coordinate activities with other agencies and units of government. • Planning staff review and process sign permits. • Since 2024, Planning staff have reviewed residential building permit applications for compliance with the UDO, such as building setbacks, lot coverage, and building height. 212 • In 2024, the city updated the fee schedule, and revenues from filing fees increased by 40% from 2024 to 2025.

For 2027, we assume a 5% increase in applications and complaints over 2026. BUDGET SUMMARY: 1) Staffing: No changes for the 2027 budget. 2) Development Review: The 2027 budget anticipates a 5% increase in activities from 2026. Notable changes include: • A 5% increase is anticipated in applications, zoning complaints, and building permit reviews. • No increase is anticipated in board and commission meetings due to a streamlined approval process with the new Unified Development Ordinance adopted in 2025. From 2024 to 2025, the department processed more applications despite fewer board and commission meetings. 3) Property Inquiries: The Department anticipates a similar increase in the number of inquiries for 2027. For reference, the department had 84 pre-application meetings and 191 website inquiries in 2025. 213 4) Operating budget: Besides Personal Services and Employee Benefits, the 2027 operating budget is $86,110 and consists of the following three components: a. Contractual Services: $61,100 Quarry Monitoring Services: Increase from $55,000 to $60,600. This budget line covers monitoring operations at the limestone quarry to ensure compliance with Ordinances 97-1456 and 97-1457 (ground vibration and air blast limits). These ordinances state that “The Operator shall be responsible to the City for all reasonable actual costs incurred by the City in the monitoring of Operator’s operations”, so the City uses this budget line to pay a monitoring consultant and bills the quarry operator for monitoring costs. These ordinances allow for adjustments based on the Consumer Price Index, All Urban Consumers (CPI-U). The last adjustment was for the 2024 budget; the net adjustment for the 2027 budget is $5,100 (CPI-U, from May 2023 to May 2026). Equipment Maintenance: Decrease from $2,000 to $500, as the 2026 printer lease includes services, parts, toner, and service calls. However, the 2026 printer lease requires an increase in Rental Equipment, as discussed in Services & Charges. b. Supplies: $4,800 Vehicle Support: Increase from $300 to $500 for maintenance and unexpected repairs to the planning department car. No changes to Office Supplies, Printing, and Fuel/Lubricants. c. Services & Charges: $20,210 Subscriptions: Increase from $3,500 to $4,000. The city currently has a premium subscription to host the Unified Development Ordinance and Municipal Code in the eCode360 platform with an annual fee of $1,295. The remaining budget of $2,705 is for supplements for ordinance amendments. Previous supplements ranged from $400 to $3,700, depending on the extent of the code amendments. City staff can initiate code amendments at the request of city commissions and applicants; therefore, it’s difficult to estimate a future quantity. If an applicant initiates it, the filing fee is $1,250. Memberships/Dues: Increase from $2,000 to $2,500, as Associate and Assistant Planners may be seeking American Institute of Certified Planners AICP certifications. Equipment Rental: Increase from $2,500 to $4,500 to pay for printer lease. This new lease has a monthly fee of $347.25 starting in January 2026 and is valid for 63 months; the former lease had a monthly fee of $292. No changes to Telephone, Official Notices/Advertising Printing, Conference & Schools, and Mileage & Technology. 214 About 70% of the Planning Department operating budget is for quarry monitoring services, which is a pass-through cost to the quarry operator. So, the Planning Department has a lean operating budget of $25,510 for 2027 (before personnel costs and quarry monitoring services), with a net increase of $1,700 from 2026. 5) Long-Range Planning: a. Comprehensive Plan: The Planning Department is currently updating the city’s comprehensive plan. Although the 2025 Capital Improvement Program allocated $100,000 for updates to the comprehensive plan and comprehensive outdoor recreation plan (CORP), the Planning Department is preparing the comprehensive plan update in-house and is using no budget beyond planning staff hours and office supplies. This project is on schedule, with estimated completion at the end of 2026. Draft plan at: https://ecode360.com/FR1719/documents/Comp._Plan_Update_(2026) b. Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan (CORP): The CORP is a fundamental tool in the acquisition and development of a sound public park, open space, and outdoor recreation system. This plan was last updated in 2015. Because the CORP is an element of the comprehensive plan, and comprehensive plans must be updated every 10 years under Wisconsin Statutes, Planning Department staff recommends updating this plan. The Capital Improvement Program allocates $50,000 for updating the CORP in FY 2027; note that this is only 50% of the funds allocated in the 2025 Capital Improvement Program. 215 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 0621 - PLANNING PERSONNEL SERVICES 253,819 281,058 362,376 323,238 350,346 274,550 SALARIES-FT01-0621-5111 57,888 42,999 28,709 29,283 29,283 SALARIES-PT01-0621-5113 39 2,500 2,500 2,500 SALARIES-OT01-0621-5117 1,845 1,725 2,000 1,000 1,000 1,000 COMPTIME TAKEN01-0621-5118 110 180 240 240 240 180 LONGEVITY01-0621-5133 12,528 14,910 12,914 18,771 13,397 9,149 HOLIDAY PAY01-0621-5134 11,268 15,859 13,145 18,335 13,640 8,739 VACATION PAY01-0621-5135 24,808 26,263 30,078 29,857 31,396 24,893 FICA01-0621-5151 19,322 22,438 26,241 26,034 27,630 21,468 RETIREMENT01-0621-5152 922 655 579 1,084 1,211 939 RETIREE GROUP HEALTH01-0621-5153 61,035 66,530 73,708 62,266 73,740 61,488 GROUP HEALTH & DENTAL01-0621-5154 906 1,063 1,222 891 932 724 LIFE INSURANCE01-0621-5155 400 358 509 507 490 388 WORKERS COMPENSATION INS01-0621-5156 RECRUITING COSTS01-0621-5160 EMPLOYER HSA CONTRIBUTION01-0621-5162 ALLOCATED PAYROLL COST01-0621-5199 444,851 474,077 525,512 510,932 545,805 435,301 PERSONNEL SERVICES NON PERSONNEL SERVICES LEGAL SERVICES01-0621-5212 PLANNING CONSULTING FEES01-0621-5217 Quarry Monitoring Services: Increase from $55,000 to $60,600. This budget line is for the monitoring operations of the limestone quarry to ensure compliance with Ordinances 97-1456 and 97-1457, i.e. ground vibration and air blast limits. These ordinance state that “The Operator shall be responsible to the City for all reasonable actual costs incurred by the City in the monitoring of Operator’s operations”, so the city uses this budget line to pay a monitoring consultant and bills the quarry operator for monitoring costs. These ordinances allow for adjustments based on the Consumer Price Index, All Urban Consumers (CPI-U). The last adjustment was for the 2024 budget, the net adjustment for the 2027 budget is $5,100 (CPI-U, from May 2023 to May 2026). 55,000 60,600 60,600 FOOTNOTE AMOUNTS: 53,800 54,100 55,000 55,000 60,600 60,600 QUARRY MONITORING SERVICE01-0621-5218 188 OTHER PROFESSIONAL SERVICES01-0621-5219 FILING FEES01-0621-5223 AUTO MAINTENANCE01-0621-5241 Equipment Maintenance: Decrease from $2,000 to $500, as the 2026 printer lease includes services, parts, toner and service calls.

Transfers are reported separately from departmental operating expenditures so the purpose and receiving fund can be clearly identified. BUDGET SUMMARY: General Fund transfers may include support for community activities and other programs authorized through the annual budget. The applicable budget schedules and receiving fund reflect each transfer's amount and purpose. Devel opment impact fee transfers are accounted for separately within the Development Impact Fee Fund and applicable receiving funds. Because those resources are restricted to eligible purposes and do not represent General Fund operating support, they are addressed in the capital and special-purpose fund sections of the budget rather than in this General Fund transfer narrative. 222 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 0998 - OTHER FINANCING USES/TRSFRS TRANSFERS - OUT TRANSFER TO OTHER FUNDS01-0998-5589 TRANSFER TO STREET IMPROVEMENT FUND 4701-0998-5594 62,000 62,000 TSFR TO CAPITAL OUTLAY FD 4101-0998-5597 TSFR TO CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT FUND 4601-0998-5598 62,000 62,000 TRANSFERS - OUT 62,000 62,000 Totals for dept 0998 - OTHER FINANCING USES/TRSFRS 62,000 62,000 TOTAL APPROPRIATIONS (62,000)(62,000)NET OF REVENUES/APPROPRIATIONS - FUND 01 223
