VILLAGE MANAGER’S REPORT
The following is a summary of this week(s) activities performed by Village Manager Burkart.
Organizational Management
• I led the weekly Administration meeting each Tuesday. This allows all personnel at
Village Hall to connect with one another along with the Parks and Recreation team. This
meeting allocates time for staff to inform each other on what’s going on in the Village so
they can better assist community members when they call and include updates for our
communications.
• I led our biweekly department head meeting to reflect on the previous Village Board
meeting, review the upcoming Village Board agenda, and a roundtable of several
department updates for the team.
Fiscal / Business Management
• Finance Director Derrick Danner and I are finalizing with BS&A a new contract to
migrate our financial and payroll systems to be moved to the cloud. This migration will
provide better internal services for the way we manage our financial and payroll records.
• Community Development Director Nate Piotrowski and I met with Woodsonia and New
Blueprint Partners to receive an update on development opportunities at their sites
Riverside Landing and Hansen Storage.
• Village staff and I met with Brook Lane management to get an update on their
improvements with their property.
Relationship with Village Board
• I talked with President Montgomery regarding Village Board agenda and other updates.
Long Range Planning
• Village staff collaborated on updating our five-year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) for
the Village Board and the public. Staff are trying to make a more concentrated effort to
allocate funds to address lateral lining projects for sewer. After Village staff present the
projects at the July 20 Village Board meeting, the Village Board will consider adoption of
the CIP at the August 3 meeting.
• Community Development Director Nate Piotrowski and I met with Wisconsin Department
of Transportation (DOT) staff to discuss the right-in right-out (RIRO) access for the
Riverside Landing development. The DOT tracked recent traffic counts and noted an
increase in traffic, which will result in requesting the Village and Woodsonia to add a
fourth through lane northbound on Green Bay Rd. to access the RIRO. The details of
this will be included in the MOU with DOT to be presented at a future Village Board
meeting in August.
• I attended a meeting with Public Works Director Matthew Maederer to initiate the
engineering of some stormwater infrastructure projects. This includes the 47
th bridge
culvert, stormwater management near AC Hansen Park and Maura Lane, and a
replacement of a culvert on Bradley Rd. near the Green Bay Rd. intersection.
• Mr. Piotrowski and I met with Cobalt to receive an update on their progress with the
recreation center development.
Public Relations
• Administrative Intern Haley Wilkinson and I facilitated the recent Town Hall Series with
other elected officials representing Brown Deer. The session was moved to Village Hall
to allow a hybrid/virtual option for community members due to the heat advisory. Staff
recorded the session and will be sharing in the weekly e-newsletter for other community
members to watch.
• I attended the swearing-in for Police Sergeant Adam Frick. He is being promoted to
sergeant after serving as an officer here for just under a year and 8 years of service
with the Cudahy Police Department.
Intergovernmental Relations
• I officially became the Wisconsin City/County Management Association (WCMA)
President starting July 1. My term lasts 12 months and am excited to represent Brown
Deer in this role.
• Parks and Recreation Department staff and I met with the School District to talk about
their facility reservation process, specifically when it comes to reserving their spaces for
Village programming.
• I attended a virtual session to meet the new League of Wisconsin Municipalities
Executive Director Emily McFarland.

BROWN DEER VILLAGE BOARD
JULY 6, 2026 MEETING MINUTES
HELD AT THE BROWN DEER VILLAGE HALL
4800 WEST GREEN BROOK DRIVE
The meeting was called to order by President Montgomery at 6:00pm.
I. Roll Call
Present: President Montgomery, Trustees Edelen, Greaves, Johnson, Owens, Thompson and Woods
Also Present: Village Attorney Nathan Bayer, Village Manager Tyler Burkart, Community Services Director Nate Piotrowski,
Finance Director Derrick Danner and Village Clerk Caren Brustmann
II. Persons Desiring to be Heard
There were no persons desiring to be heard.
III. Elected Officials & Staff Reports
Trustee Johnson inquired about the meeting Mr. Burkart had with potential developers about the Hansen Storage site. Mr.
Burkart responded that any redevelopment would need to meet a high valuation based on the $8 million acquisition price. Mr.
Piotrowski added that single-family homes are challenging due to construction costs today, however there are opportunities for
for-sale products like stacked flats or townhomes.
No action was taken.
IV. Consent Agenda
A) Consideration of Minutes – June 15, 2026
B) Consider Service Agreement with Valbridge Property Advisors for Appraisals at 9124-9200 N. Green Bay
Rd. and 9120 N. Green Bay Rd.
It was moved by Trustee Thompson and seconded by Trustee Owens to approve the consent agenda as presented. The
motion carried unanimously.
V. New Business
A) Consider Approval of Agreement and Offer to Purchase with Donut Monster LLC at 8725 N. Deerwood
Dr.
Mr. Burkart presented an agreement to purchase property from Donut Monster LLC at 8725 N. Deerwood Dr. for $425,000.
The building will have a guaranteed assessed valuation of $750,000 including a commercial kitchen to be completed by
January 1, 2028. The closing is scheduled for September 7, 2026. Discussion followed with inquiries about the dollar amount
that would go towards park improvements. Mr. Burkart stated about $200,000 is expected to be available for the park
development.
It was moved by Trustee Woods and seconded by Trustee Edelen to approve an agreement and offer to purchase with Donut
Monster LLC at 8725 N. Deerwood Drive. The motion carried unanimously.
B) Consider Approval of a Certified Survey Map Land Division at 8725 N. Deerwood Drive
Mr. Piotrowski stated as part of the sale of the building at 8725 N. Deerwood Dr., it’s necessary to divide the building from the
remainder of Community Square. Approval of the proposed CSM is recommended which includes a pedestrian access
easement on the south side of the building.
It was moved by Trustee Greaves and seconded by Trustee Owens to approve the certified survey map land division at 8725
N. Deerwood Dr. The motion carried unanimously.
C) Presentation on Financial Status of Tax Incremental Districts
Mr. Burkart provided an update on the financial status of the four tax incremental districts (TIDs). TID 3 is performing well and
will likely not need additional projects. TID 4 has plateaued, however, it is anticipated with future developer payments it will
improve. TID 5 and TID 6 were recently created, with Village 43 and Riverside Landing helping TID 5. Atlas Assisted Living
will be a help for TID 6.
No action was taken.
D) Presentation on Future Debt Obligations
Mr. Burkart highlighted that while current debt service appears to decline, future debt issuance will increase levies by
approximately 2% annually. Higher interest rates today, 5% compared to 2% in the past, and increased construction costs,
present challenges for debt management. Discussion followed about remaining debt amounts for the DPW and library
buildings. Mr. Danner confirmed these projects are scheduled to be paid off around 2030.
No action was taken.
VII. Adjournment
It was moved by President Montgomery to adjourn at 6:28 p.m.

1. Sprinkler System Shutdown:
All sprinklers must be turned off 24 hours before the sealcoating application begins.
Sprinklers must remain off for 48 hours following the completion of the work to ensure the integrity of the newly applied sealcoating.
2. Vehicles left on the Premises:
All vehicles must be removed before the commencement of the job. If any vehicles are left behind, you will be required to arrange for a
towing service, or you will incur an additional trip charge.
NOTE: If your project involves Sealcoating, please note the following:
1. Stay Off Property for 24 Hours:
To allow the sealcoat to cure properly, please refrain from driving, walking, or placing any objects on the treated area for a minimum of 24
hours after the completion of the sealcoating process. This precaution helps prevent any damage or imperfections in the freshly applied
sealcoat.
2. Restrictions on Large Deliveries:
Garbage trucks and other large deliveries should refrain from entering the parking lot for 48 hours prior to the scheduled sealcoating work

Capital Planning Process
The Village began the capital planning process by summarizing all existing capital assets
including equipment, buildings, and infrastructure assets purchased with an individual value more
than $5,000. Department heads completed a capital needs assessment. One part of that
assessment was to review their existing asset inventory and ensure that assets needing
replacement during the next five years were requested. Departments were also provided with a
listing of capital assets, which had been requested in past years for their review and updates.
Once all capital purchase requests were received, they were split into five groups.
Non-Debt Financed Purchase Requests
Debt Financed Purchase Requests
Stormwater Utility Purchase Requests
Sanitary Sewer Utility Purchase Requests
Water Utility Purchase Requests
Non-Debt Financed Purchase Requests
Non-debt financed purchase requests can be thought of as falling into one of three categories
annually recurring, smaller dollar purch ases or shorter-lived assets. The Village desires to
finance those purchases, which recur annually through annual revenues rather than
borrowed funds. This method allows for tax rate stabilization and lower debt service
payments due to fewer borrowings. The Village also desires not to borrow for lower cost
assets as the cost of financing can become too high in comparison to the asset’s overall
value. In some cases, it is the combination of dollar amount and asset life that result in the
asset being shown within this category.
Debt Financed Purchase Requests
Debt financed purchase requests are higher cost, more infrequent purchase requests. Due
to the infrequency of purchase, paying for these assets with annual operating funds would
lead to a tax rate which fluctuated significantly from one year to the next. In order to maintain
tax levy stability, the Village plans to finance these purchases with long term debt.
Stormwater, Sanitary Sewer and Water Utility Purchase Requests
These requests are pri marily for infrastructure improvement that relate to one of the Village’s
utilities. The costs of these assets may be financed through user fees and funds on hand or
the issuance of long -term debt. If debt financing is used the debt will be repaid throug h user
fees of that utility, rather than through the general tax levy.
Funding the Requests
Once a comprehensive listing of capital assets was accumulated, the Village began the
process of determining how to pay for these purchases. The Village desired to be able to
purchase non-debt purchase requests through annual operating revenues such as tax levy
and interest income; however, the current level of operating revenues is not sufficient to meet
these needs. Village staff reviewed the project requests to verify that they were in line with
the Village’s overall goals.
Village of Brown Deer
Five Year Capital Plan
2027 - 2031
Village staff and board members recognize that delaying capital maintenance and
replacement of equipment result in higher future costs and decreased resident service and
quality of life. The Village also recognizes that large increases to property taxes are not
desirable. In order to meet all of these objectives, the Village designed a funding plan.
This plan uses a combination of reserves on hand, tax levy , and debt service. Reserves on
hand were derived from the North Shore Fire Department Asset Sale Fund, the Capital
Improvement Fund, and the Equipment Replacement Fund, which have now been combined
into the Capital Improvement Fund.
Important Note
Under the 2016-2018 state budget, 2013 Wisconsin Act 20, a municipality is allowed to
increase its levy over the amount it levied in the prior year by the percentage increase in
equalized value from net new construction. If no new construction occurs in the community,
then the allowable levy increase is zero percent. Given the fact Brown Deer has had very
little net new construction , many years we must assume a zero percent increase .
Inflation – materials, equipment, and services.
Benefits – health, pension, and insurance.
Wages – keeping competitive
Service Demands – citizens ask for more or high service levels.
Unfunded Mandates – federal or state requirements.
These factors and the levy limit freeze may cause the village to increase the amount
it borrows in future years. We may need to redirect the levy funds set aside for capital
projects back into the general fund causing us to increase the amount we borrow. This
needs to be monitored very carefully.
Borrowing Needs
In order to complete the five-year plan, the Village determined the long-term borrowing needs
for debt financed projects. The Village would plan to borrow bi-annually to fund the
projects through the year 2031. The plan assumes that debt financed projects would
average approximately $1,500,000 - $2,000,000 per year and continue with a bi-annual
debt issue. Sample debt repayment schedules are included.
Because the funding for capital purchases comes from current capital tax levy, future debt
service available levy, reserves on hand and future borrowings, it is desirable to see how all
these parts come together with all of the projected asset purchases.
Policy Management
The Village’s general obligation debt, under State of Wisconsin statutes, is capped at 5% of
the Village’s equalized value; as of December 31, 2025, the Village’s total general
obligation debt was at $25,085,000 The debt limit as of December 31, 2025
was $76,761,600. The Village’s internal debt management policy intends to keep
the debt service levy amount within 50% of the limit prescribed by law and
total outstanding general obligation debt within 75% of the limit prescribed by law
and at levels consistent with the Village ’s credit objectives and long-term financial . The
Village’s debt policy also restricts the debt service levy to less than 25% of the total
operating revenue. The village will keep the maturity of all outstanding general obligation
bonds at or below 20 years.

Project Description: Purchase three marked Ford Police Interceptor Utility (SUV) patrol vehicles and
associated equipment to replace aging vehicles within the Police Department fleet.
Project Justification: The replacement of these police vehicles is part of the department's established
fleet rotation program and is necessary due to increasing mileage, normal wear and tear, rising
maintenance and repair costs, and evolving technology and equipment requirements. In addition to the
vehicles themselves, standard police equipment, including emergency lighting packages, center
consoles, and related outfitting components, will be installed. Where feasible, existing equipment will
be transferred from current vehicles to reduce costs. Maintaining a consistent vehicle replacement
schedule helps minimize costly repairs, reduce vehicle downtime, and ensure reliable fleet operations.
As patrol vehicles age, their performance and reliability decline, particularly during emergency response
situations where vehicle handling, acceleration, braking, and overall safety are critical. Replacing these
vehicles on a regular cycle ensures officers have dependable equipment that supports effective law
enforcement services and public safety.

Project Description: The Village is completing two actions with the Wisconsin Department of
Transportation to assist the redevelopment efforts at Riverside Landing. In 2026, the Village paid
$100,000 to acquire surplus land adjacent to the First Citizens site and $99,550 for its share of the right-
in right-out (RIRO) access off Green Bay Rd. Then, each year after 2026, the Village will need to pay up to
$50,000 through 2030. Woodsonia and the Village are splitting 50/50 the cost share to pay for the full
access rights of the RIRO for the total cost of $538,900.
Project Justification: Adding a RIRO access point will help traffic flow for the Riverside Landing
redevelopment and the mixed-use redevelopment on the old First Citizens site.

Project Description: Provide annual funding for the Village’s existing Flock Safety camera network,
which consists of five fixed cameras located throughout the community and one mobile camera that can
be deployed as needed. The annual subscription cost includes access to the Flock Safety platform, data
storage, software updates, and network integration.
Project Justification: The Village’s Flock Safety camera system has proven to be a valuable public safety
tool by assisting officers in detecting criminal activity, generating investigative leads, and reducing the
time required to conduct criminal investigations. The system provides objective vehicle identification
data that can be used to identify suspects, locate vehicles associated with criminal activity, and support
investigations both locally and in cooperation with neighboring jurisdictions. Through the Flock Safety
camera network, the Police Department can expand its ability to identify accurate and unbiased
investigative leads, analyze crime trends, and proactively address public safety concerns. Continued
investment in this technology promotes community safety while maximizing the effectiveness of limited
police resources.

Project Description: Replace the Police Department’s portable (handheld) and mobile (squad) radio
equipment. The project will involve the purchase and deployment of next-generation public safety
radios to replace the department’s existing Motorola APX 6000 radio system.
Project Justification: The Police Department’s current Motorola APX 6000 portable and mobile radios
were purchased in 2011 and are approaching the end of their useful service life. As radio technology
continues to evolve, manufacturers eventually discontinue support, software updates, replacement
parts, and repair services for older equipment. The department anticipates that the current radio
platform will reach end-of-life status within the next several years, although specific timelines are still

Project Description: This proposal calls for the pavement on W. Bradley Road to be replaced and ditching or
curbing to be corrected/repaired along the length of the project from RR tracks to N. Green Bay Road/STH 57. A
paved shoulder along both sides of the road is being considered to help accommodate cyclists and those seeking to
enter into Brown Deer Park. Also, as a part of the project the Village is seeking to replace a failing culvert that
serves Brown Deer Park Creek and goes underneath the roadway near N. Green Bay Road.
Project Justification: This section of W. Bradley Road is starting to fail and is in need of repair. Additionally, the
paved section of roadway is rather narrow for current volumes and adding a paved should provide some relief. The
project shares a boundary with the City of Milwaukee and coordination will be required with the City. At this point
the Village is expecting to cover all costs for this project as it falls under Village responsibility in a joint
maintenance agreement with the City. Engineering and design would take place in 2029 led by the City of
Milwaukee with construction in 2030.

Project Description: Replace the existing lockers in the Police Department’s men's and women's locker
rooms. The current lockers have been in service for more than 30 years and have reached the end of
their useful life.
Project Justification: The existing lockers in the Police Department locker rooms are over 30 years old
and are showing significant signs of deterioration. Many of the lockers have rusted surfaces, doors that
no longer close or latch properly, and insufficient shelving and storage space to meet current
operational needs. The aging condition of the lockers negatively impacts functionality, security, and the
overall appearance of the locker room facilities. Replacing the lockers will provide officers with secure,

Year 2027 2028 2029 2030 2031
Budget $216,000
Funding Sources: Levy ☒ Debt ☐ Grant ☐ Donations ☐ Fund Balance ☐
Project Description: Replacing the existing on-premises camera and door solution for the Village of
Brown Deer with a more advanced digital, cloud-based system. Based upon existing quotes for other
governmental agencies of similar size and complexity, it is anticipated that $216,000 will be required to
complete this project. This cost includes all vendor and consulting costs for implementation,
infrastructure, cameras, and door hardware.
P
roject Justification: The Village of Brown Deer currently has a proprietary, on-premises solution for
cameras and doors. This solution will be almost 10 years old by 2028 and has presented issues over the
life of the system and lacks more modern capabilities like mobile apps or direct cloud access. These
limitations will only increase the support requirements for the system as remote virtual private
networks are needed to display video to other entities like the Bayside Communications Center.
Maintaining customized tunnels is both a security risk and requires high levels of technical knowledge to
create and maintain.
Benefits of hosted, digital camera and door control systems:
• Cost: Cloud-based systems are typically more expensive than traditional analog systems, but the
cost of ownership can be lower over time. This is because cloud-based systems require less
maintenance and can be accessed from anywhere.
• Security: Cloud-based systems are often more secure than traditional analog systems. This is
because they are protected by multiple layers of security, including encryption and firewalls.
• Reliability: As customized on-premises systems age the performance and reliability of those
solutions becomes more problematic. Critical systems like cameras and door controls are vital to
the daily functions of the village. Hardware, software, and infrastructure age and introduce
many complexities when attempting to trouble shoot issues and repair failed components as
replacements become harder to acquire and more expensive to purchase.
• Scalability: Cloud-based systems are more scalable than traditional analog systems. This mean
s
that you can easily add or remove cameras as your needs change.
• Features: Cloud-based systems offer a wider range of features than traditional analog systems.
This includes features such as motion detection, facial recognition, and live streaming.
FY 2027-2031 Capital Improvement Plan
Project Description
• Support: Since analog network video cameras and recorders are older technology, there are
always increasing costs for support and maintenance. Highly customized and proprietary
systems are often unsupportable from camera system vendors. Support contracts usually
require very high time and materials costs with no service level agreements associated.

Project Description: The Brooklane complex has an area next to South Branch Creek that it maintains as
required green space to comply with Village zoning regulations. In 2010 Churchill Lane and 47th/48th
were repaved and realigned. The right-of-way along the streets was re-graded (included a portion of
Brook Lane property) to the new road alignments. It is proposed to obtain an easement from Brook
Lane to use the portion of their property from 46th to 47th/48th and south of Churchill to the creek for
additional stormwater storage. The Churchill basin consists of the removal of the concrete invert and
the install of a meandering creek with natural plantings. It is proposed to obtain the county property at
Willow/51st and add it to the basin with excavation for additional storage and storm water quality for
the 50th drainage way that would discharge into it.
Project Justification: The area between 47th and Dean Road has not been improved for additional storm
water storage for the protection of property and storm water quality improvements for South Branch
Creek and the Milwaukee River. The Brooklane Basin would provide both of these benefits. The portion
of Brooklane Apartment property proposed for the basin has to remain as green space for zoning
purposes. The highest and best use for this land would be for storm water improvements. The original
Churchill Basin was designed by MMSD as a flood control basin with no storm water quality benefits.
This project provides for water quality benefits, develops the site as a natural area for resident
enjoyment and adds additional storage. This project is in compliance with WDNR regulations and meets

Project Description: DPW requests the purchase of a new Orbit Screen Model 68 Diesel with stabilizers.
This unit is manufactured under a patent and there are no other manufacturers of this style at this time.
Other manufacturers have units that are in the $100,000 to $120,000 range for a matching performance
range and require more space and maintenance. With the yearly ditching projects the Department has
used a screener with cost savings to the ditching operations in purchase of screened topsoil, hauling all
excavated material - including topsoil that could be screened. It was found that the recovered screened
soil provided a superior product for the residents in that the weed seed was not present as in purchased
topsoil.
Project Justification: The equipment will be purchased through soliciting quotes from three (3)

Project Description: Replacement of instrumentation and equipment in the chlorine booster station
that will help refine system operation and replace items that get worn out from the chemical feed.
Project Justification: The Utility installed a chloramine booster disinfection station in 2004 to improve
chlorine residuals in the water system, especially during warmer water temperatures. In 2020 the Utility
upgraded the chlorine and ammonia chemical feed pumps and in 2022 replaced a water feed circulation
pump. The annual equipment CIP helps to maintain the operation of the station with timely
replacement of critical items. The operation of the booster station has helped increase the chlorine
residual in the distribution system during the summer months when the water temperature is above 50
degrees. The increase in chlorine residual has helped reduce the number of leaks in copper service
laterals saving the Utility money by reducing the non-revenue water in the system.

Project Description: Replacement of failing Orion radio units, and Badger water meters that are
approaching the end of their lifecycle (20 years).
Project Justification: The Utility is required by the Public Service Commission to replace smaller
residential meters every 20 years. The Utility also replaces the automatic meter reading (AMR) unit
(Orion) at the same time. The AMR technology allows the utility to improve customer service by
addressing customer inquiries more efficiently and can even alert a customer to a potential leak inside
of the home before the next meter reading cycle. Older Orion technology will need to be replaced as it
fails. The money budget over the next 5 years addresses replacing the older Orion units that fail, as well
as replacing meters as dictated by the 20-yr PSC approved replacement schedule.

Utility Revenue ☒
Project Description: Replace defective hydrants and valves in distribution system
Project Justification: In 2012 the Utility jointly purchased a valve turning, and vacuum tank machine to
aid in the operation and maintenance of distribution system valves. During routine exercising the Utility
develops a list of problem valves in the system that need replacement. The money budgeted will help
replace defective valves noted from the valve exercising program.
The Utility notes during annual hydrant flushing problem hydrants that need repair or replacement.
There are several older Iowa style hydrants in the distribution system. Operations of Iowa hydrants are
good currently but there are a few hydrants that need repair. Repair parts for the Iowa hydrants are
becoming difficult to obtain so the Utility has budgeted funds to replacement of a few hydrants every
year.
REQUEST FOR CONSIDERATION
CO
MMITTEE CONSIDERATION: Village Board
ITEM DESCRIPTION: Discuss 2027 Proposed Budget Process and Expectations
PREPARED BY: Tyler Burkart, Village Manager | Derrick Danner, Finance Director
REPORT DATE: July 20, 2026
RECOMMENDATION: There is no recommended motion for this agenda item.
EXPLANATION:
Village staff will begin preparing for the 2027 proposed budget. Staff would like to inform the
Village Board and community about the following parameters and issues to be aware of:
• I
ncreased Financial Support for North Shore Fire Department: Over the last
several years, the North Shore Fire Department (NSFD) has been experiencing an
increase in the number of calls. Brown Deer has been one of the communities with the
highest increase in calls. Due to this trend, our financial support for these shared
services is rising. NSFD is at a point where they can’t guarantee the same level of
services unless financial contributions increase to fund additional personnel.
• D
ebt Service Tax Levy Allocation: Large capital projects funded through G.O. debt
(i.e. library and public works buildings) remain on our debt service tax levy. Additional
projects related to our utility infrastructure, roads, and public safety (i.e. North Shore
Fire and Dispatch capital contributions) are forcing our debt service allocation to
increase at a higher rate than our general fund operational expenses.
• S
hared Revenue Legislation: A huge win for all local municipalities three years ago
was the shared revenue legislation. This reform ties shared revenue now to sales tax,
which municipalities will receive 20% of the sales tax generated in the state. Since the
total state sales tax increases almost every year, this shall be a consistent method for
municipalities to receive more shared revenue every year. The Village will need to see
how much shared revenue will change, but last year this increased just over 3% for
Brown Deer.
• E
xpenditure Restraint Program (ERP): A municipality’s ERP is generally computed
using 60% of a community’s net new construction (NNC) as long as it doesn’t exceed
an overall increase of 2% of NNC plus CPI (inflation estimates from the U.S. Bureau of
Labor). The letter detailing the ERP increase comes out in late September. Staff
estimates CPI to be consistent to the previous two years. If you look back over the last
12 months, it has ranged between 2% to 4%. So, for example, if Brown Deer has a
NNC of 1% and CPI is 2%, the computation would be 2% + (1% x 60%) = 2.6%. Since
CPI has been dropping recently, this is becoming a larger concern for municipalities
including Brown Deer.
• Levy Limits: Department of Revenue sends a letter around August 10 detailing what
the NNC will be for Brown Deer. The levy limit is highly influenced by a municipality’s
NNC. The levy limit for the 2026 levy was set at 0.29%. For most municipalities, this
limitation makes it extremely difficult to prepare a budget. It should be noted debt
service is exempt from levy limits. Given the upcoming construction in the commercial
areas for Brown Deer, Village staff anticipates NNC to increase in the upcoming years,
giving us a bit more flexibility with the levy limit.
• Man
agement of Village’s Utilities and Aging Infrastructure: For almost a decade,
the Village’s storm water and sewer utilities hadn’t experienced a rate increase. The
Village Board allocated 30% of the public works project to be paid for through the
utilities (not water utility). With several significant expenses due to be paid by the storm
water and sewer utilities, the 2026 budget adopted a 5% increase to the sewer and
storm water utility.
• Cos
t of Living Adjustment: For 2026, COLA consisted of a 1.5% increase on January
1 and another 1.5% increase on July 1 in an effort to keep wages competitive with the
inflation spikes we are seeing yet do our best to live within our budgetary constraints.
When talking with managers in the area, it appears a COLA of around 2-3% will remain
for most municipal 2027 budgets.
Her
e is the following proposed schedule for the 2027 budget:
• July 17: Finance Director sends out 2027 budget template for staff to complete
• July 20: Preliminary Budget Meeting and Present Capital Improvement Plan (CIP)
• August 3: Village Board considers adoption of the CIP
• August 7: Budget pages due to Finance Director and Village Manager
• August 10-21: Department heads meet with Finance Director and Village Manager to
go through their proposed budget pages
• September 14: Send 2027 Proposed Budget to Village Board for review
• September 21: Presentation with Village Board on general summary of budget and
the general fund
• September 28: Village Board members should keep this day open in case we need to
call an extra meeting to review the budget. It will depend on the other business items
included on the September 21 and October 5 Village Board meetings.
• October 5: Presentation with Village Board on special revenue funds, capital fund,
Utilities, TIDs, and consolidated services
• October 13: Staff submits public notice to North Shore Now for them to publish in their
October 21 paper for the November 16 public hearing
• November 16: 2027 Proposed Budget public hearing at Village Board meeting and
adopt 2027 budget
Sta
ff are looking for feedback from Board members on the following questions.
• Are there any general services or operations you’d like staff to review or reflect
differently in the budget?
• Do you have any specific expectations as to the levy increase staff reflects in the initial
proposed budget? Please note any proposed budget incorporating a levy increase
similar to previous years with the current rate of inflation will come with challenges
without changing service levels.
• Are there any specific changes you would like to see to the budget schedule or
presentation compared to past years or what is presented to you tonight?
• What specific information would you like to be shared either prior to the budget
sessions or during the budget sessions?
