Independent Auditors' Report
To the City Council of
City of Pewaukee
Opinions
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type
activities, each major fund and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Pewaukee, Wisconsin,
(the Cit
y), as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024, and the related notes to the financial statements,
which collectively comprise the City's basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents.
In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects,
the respective financial position of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fund
and the aggregate remaining fund information of the Cit
y as of December 31, 2024 and the respective changes
in financial position and, where applicable, cash flows thereof for the year then ended in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinions
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of
America (GAAS). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors'
Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be
independent of the Cit
y and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical
requirements relating to our audit. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and
appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions.
Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; and for the design,
implementation and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial
statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or
events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Cit
y's ability to continue as a going
concern for twelve months beyond the financial statement date, including any currently known information that
may raise substantial doubt shortly thereafter.

Auditors' Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free
from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors' report that includes our
opinions. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not
a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS will always detect a material misstatement when
it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting
from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations or the override of
internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in
the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial
statements.
In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS, we:
Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to
fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures
include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements.
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures
that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the
effectiveness of the City's internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant
accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the
financial statements.
Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that
raise substantial doubt about the City's ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period
of time.
We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the
planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings and certain internal control-related matters that
we identified during the audit.
Required Supplementary Information
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the required
supplementary information, as listed in the table of contents be presented to supplement the basic financial
statements. Such information is the responsibility of management and, although not a part of the basic financial
statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board who considers it to be an essential
part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic or
historical context. We have applied certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information in
accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which consisted of
inquiries of management about the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for
consistency with management's responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other
knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We do not express an opinion or
provide any assurance on the information because the limited procedures do not provide us with sufficient
evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance.

Management has omitted management's discussion and analysis that accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America require to be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such
missing information, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental
Accounting Standards Board who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic
financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic or historical context. Our opinions on the basic
financial statements are not affected by this missing information.
Supplementary Information
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectivel
y
comprise the City's basic financial statements. The supplementary information as listed in the table of contents
is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements.
Such information is the responsibility of management and was derived from and relates directly to the
underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements. The information has
been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and certain
additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying
accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements or to the basic financial
statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the supplementary information is fairly stated in all
material respects, in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole.

Total Fund Balances, Governmental Funds 19,690,196$
Amounts reported for governmental activities in the Statement of
Net Position are different because:
Capital assets used in governmental funds are not financial resources and
therefore are not reported in the funds (See Note 2). 90,840,564
The City's investment in the library joint venture is not a financial resource and,
therefore, is not reported in the fund statements. 503,986
Some receivables that are not currently available are reported as unavailable
revenues in the fund financial statements but are recognized as revenue when
earned in the government-wide statements.
1,101,947
The net pension liability does not relate to current financial resources and is not
reported in the governmental funds. (724,729)
Deferred inflows and outflows of resources related to pension do not related to
current financial resources and are not reported in the governmental funds. 2,627,098
Some liabilities, including long-term debt, are not due and payable in the
current period and therefore, are not reported in the funds (See Note 2). (40,209,464)

Debt issued provides current financial resources to governmental funds,
but issuing debt increases long-term liabilities in the Statement of Net
Position. Repayment of debt principal is an expenditure in the governmental
funds, but the repayment reduces long-term liabilities in the Statement of
Net Position.

Some expenses in the Statement of Activities do not require the use of
current financial resources and, therefore, are not reported as expenditures

Governmental funds report debt premiums and discounts as other financing
sources (uses) or expenditures. However, in the Statement of Net Position, these
are reported as additions or deductions from long-term debt. These are allocated
over the period the debt is outstanding in the Statement of Activities and are reported
as interest expense:

Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2024
1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The accounting policies of the City of Pewaukee, Wisconsin (the City) conform to accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America as applicable to governmental units. The accepted
standard-setting body for establishing governmental accounting and financial reporting principles is the
Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB).
Reporting Entity
This report includes all of the funds of the Cit
y. The reporting entity for the City consists of the primary
government and its component units. Component units are legally separate organizations for which the
primary government is financially accountable or other organizations for which the nature and
significance of their relationship with the primary government are such that their exclusion would cause
the reporting entity's financial statements to be misleading. The Cit
y has not identified any
organizations that meet this criteria.
Government-Wide and Fund Financial Statements
In June 2022, the GASB issued Statement No. 101, Compensated Absences. This Statement requires
that liabilities for compensated absences be recognized in financial statements prepared using the
economic resources measurement focus for (1) leave that has not been used and (2) leave that has
been used but not yet paid in cash or settled through noncash means. A liability should be recognized
for leave that has not been used if (a) the leave is attributable to services already rendered, (b) the
leave accumulates, and (c) the leave is more likely than not to be used for time off or otherwise paid in
cash or settled through noncash means. This standard was implemented January 1, 2024; however,
the impact of this implementation was not material to the financial statements.
Government-Wide Financial Statements
The statement of net position and statement of activities display information about the reporting
government as a whole. They include all funds of the reporting entity. The statements distinguish
between governmental and business-type activities. Governmental activities generally are financed
through taxes, intergovernmental revenues and other nonexchange revenues. Business-type
activities are financed in whole or in part by fees charged to external parties for goods or services.
The statement of activities demonstrates the degree to which the direct expenses of a given
function or segment are offset by program revenues. Direct expenses are those that are clearly
identifiable with a specific function or segment. The City does not allocate indirect expenses to
functions in the statement of activities. Program revenues include 1) charges to customers or
applicants who purchase, use or directly benefit from goods, services or privileges provided by a
given function or segment, and 2) grants and contributions that are restricted to meeting the
operational or capital requirements of a particular function or segment. Taxes and other items not
included among program revenues are reported as general revenues. Internally dedicated
resources are reported as general revenues rather than as program revenues.
Fund Financial Statements
Financial statements of the Cit
y are organized into funds, each of which is considered to be a
separate accounting entity. Each fund is accounted for by providing a separate set of
self-balancing accounts, which constitute its assets, deferred outflows of resources, liabilities,
deferred inflows of resources, net position/fund balance, revenues and expenditures/expenses.
17
Page 23 of 137
City of Pewaukee
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2024
Funds are organized as major funds or nonmajor funds within the governmental and proprietary
statements. An emphasis is placed on major funds within the governmental and proprietary
categories. A fund is considered major if it is the primary operating fund of the City or meets the
following criteria:
a. Total assets/deferred outflows of resources, liabilities/deferred inflows of resources,
revenues or expenditures/expenses of that individual governmental or enterprise fund are
at least 10% of the corresponding total for all funds of that category or type, and
b. The same element of the individual governmental or enterprise fund that met the 10% test
is at least 5% of the corresponding total for all governmental and enterprise funds
combined.
c. In addition, any other governmental or enterprise fund that the Cit
y believes is particularly
important to financial statement users may be reported as a major fund.
Separate financial statements are provided for governmental funds and proprietary funds. Major
individual governmental funds and major individual enterprise funds are reported as separate
columns in the fund financial statements.
The City reports the following major governmental funds:
General Fund
General Fund accounts for the Cit
y's primary operating activities. It is used to account for and
report all financial resources except those accounted for and reported in another fund.
Special Revenue Fund
Storm Water Management Special Revenue Fund is used to account for and report resources
accumulated and payments made for storm water management projects.
Debt Service Fund
Debt Service Fund accounts for resources accumulated and payments made for principal and
interest on long-term debt other than proprietary fund debt.
Capital Projects Fund
Road Construction Capital Projects Fund is used to account for and report financial resources
that are restricted, committed or assigned to expenditures for capital outlays, including the
acquisition or construction of infrastructure and other related capital assets.
Enterprise Funds
The City reports the following major enterprise funds:
Water Utility accounts for operations of the water system.
Sewer utility accounts for operations of the sewer system.

The City reports the following nonmajor governmental funds:
Special Revenue Funds
Special Revenue Funds are used to account for and report the proceeds of specific revenue
sources that are restricted or committed to expenditures for specified purposes (other than
debt service or capital projects).
Impact Fee Tourism and Convention

American Rescue Plan
Capital Projects Funds
Capital Projects Funds are used to account for and report financial resources that are
restricted, committed or assigned to expenditure for capital outlays, including the acquisition or
construction of capital facilities and other capital assets.
Capital Equipment Bike Path
City Hall Remodel DPW Building
Permanent Fund
Permanent Fund is used to account for and report resources that are restricted to the extent
that only earnings, and not principal, may be used for purposes that support the reporting
government's programs, that is, for the benefit of the government or its citizenry.
Cemetery Perpetual Care
In addition, the City reports the following fund type:
Custodial Fund
Custodial Fund is used to account for and report assets controlled by the Cit
y and the assets
are for the benefit of individuals, private organizations and/or other governmental units.
Tax Collection Fund
Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting and Financial Statement Presentation
Government-Wide Financial Statements
The government-wide statement of net position and statement of activities are reported using the
economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting. Under the accrual
basis of accounting, revenues are recognized when earned and expenses are recorded when the
liability is incurred or economic asset used. Revenues, expenses, gains, losses, assets and
liabilities resulting from exchange and exchange-like transactions are recognized when the
exchange takes place. Property taxes are recognized as revenues in the year for which they are
levied. Taxes receivable for the following year are recorded as receivables and deferred inflows.
Grants and similar items are recognized as revenue as soon as all eligibility requirements imposed
by the provider are met. Special assessments are recorded as revenue when earned. Unbilled
receivables are recorded as revenues when services are provided.
As a general rule, the effect of interfund activity has been eliminated from the government-wide
financial statements. Exceptions to this general rule are charges between the Cit
y's water and
sewer utilities and various other functions of the government. Elimination of these charges would
distort the direct costs and program revenues reported for the various functions concerned.

Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2024
Fund Financial Statements
Governmental fund financial statements are reported using the current financial resources
measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recorded when
they are both measurable and available. Available means collectible within the current period or
soon enough thereafter to be used to pay liabilities of the current period. For this purpose, the Cit
y
considers revenues to be available if they are collected within 60 days of the end of the current
fiscal period. Expenditures are recorded when the related fund liability is incurred, except for
unmatured interest on long-term debt, claims, judgments, compensated absences and pension
expenditures, which are recorded as a fund liability when expected to be paid with expendable
available financial resources.
Property taxes are recorded in the year levied as receivables and deferred inflows. They are
recognized as revenues in the succeeding year when services financed by the levy are being
provided.
Intergovernmental aids and grants are recognized as revenues in the period the Cit
y is entitled to
the resources and the amounts are available. Amounts owed to the City which are not available
are recorded as receivables and unavailable revenues. Amounts received before eligibility
requirements (excluding time requirements) are met are recorded as liabilities. Amounts received
in advance of meeting time requirements are recorded as deferred inflows.
Special assessments are recorded as revenues when they become measurable and available as
current assets. Annual installments due in future years are reflected as receivables and
unavailable revenues. Delinquent special assessments being held by the County are reported as
receivables and unavailable revenues.
At December 31, 2024, there were $2,746, $3,744,590 and
$921,760 of unrecorded anticipated future assessments for City, Water and Sewer utilities
respectively, which are not recorded as receivables because collection is subject to certain events
occurring in the future. No formal repayment schedule has been established.
Revenues susceptible to accrual include property taxes, miscellaneous taxes, public charges for
services, special assessments and interest. Other general revenues such as fines and forfeitures,
inspection fees, recreation fees and miscellaneous revenues are recognized when received in
cash or when measurable and available under the criteria described above.
Proprietary and Fiduciary Funds
Proprietary and fiduciary fund financial statements are reported using the economic resources
measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting, as described previously in this note.
The proprietary funds distinguish operating revenues and expenses from nonoperating items.
Operating revenues and expenses generally result from providing services and producing and
delivering goods in connection with a proprietary fund's principal ongoing operations. The principal
operating revenues of the water and sewer utilities are charges to customers for sales and
services. Special assessments are recorded as receivables and contribution revenue when levied.
Operating expenses for proprietary funds include the cost of sales and services, administrative
expenses and depreciation on capital assets. All revenues and expenses not meeting this
definition are reported as nonoperating revenues and expenses.
All Financial Statements
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets, deferred outflows of resources, liabilities and deferred inflows of resources and disclosure
of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts
of revenues and expenditures/expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ
from those estimates.

Position or Equity
Deposits and Investments
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the City considers all highly liquid investments with an
initial maturity of three months or less when acquired to be cash equivalents.
Investment of City funds is restricted by Wisconsin state statutes. Available investments are limited
to:
a. Time deposits in any credit union, bank, savings bank or trust company.
b. Bonds or securities of any county, city, drainage district, technical college district, village,
town or school district of the state. Also, bonds issued by a local exposition district, a local
professional baseball park district, a local professional football stadium district, a local
cultural arts district, the University of Wisconsin Hospitals and Clinics Authority or the
Wisconsin Aerospace Authority.
c. Bonds or securities issued or guaranteed by the federal government.
d. The local government investment pool.
e. Any security maturing in seven years or less and having the highest or second highest
rating category of a nationally recognized rating agency.
f. Securities of an open-end management investment company or investment trust, subject to
various conditions and investment options.
g. Repurchase agreements with public depositories, with certain conditions.
The Cit
y has adopted an investment policy. That policy follows the state statute for allowable
investments. The City's investment policy addresses custodial credit risk. Collateralization is
required on two types of investments: certificates of deposit that exceed the state and FDIC
insurance limits and repurchase agreements. The collateralization level is 102% of the market
value of principal and accrued interest.
Interest rate risk is also addressed by the City's investment policy. The City will diversify its
investments according to type, maturity and institution. The portfolio will contain both short-term
and long-term investments. No more than fifty percent (50%) of total investments should extend
beyond one year and never extend beyond 5 years. See Note 4 for further details.
Investments are stated at fair value, which is the amount at which an investment could be
exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties. Fair values are based on methods and
inputs as outlined in Note 4. No investments are reported at amortized cost. Adjustments
necessary to record investments at fair value are recorded in the operating statement as increases
or decreases in investment income. Investment income on commingled investments of municipal
accounting funds is allocated based on average balances. The difference between the bank
statement balance and carrying value is due to outstanding checks and/or deposits in transit.
The Wisconsin Local Government Investment Pool (LGIP) is part of the State Investment Fund
(SIF) and is managed by the State of Wisconsin Investment Board. The SIF is not registered with
the Securities and Exchange Commission, but operates under the statutory authority of Wisconsin
Chapter 25. The SIF reports the fair value of its underlying assets annually. Participants in the
LGIP have the right to withdraw their funds in total on one day's notice. At December 31, 2024, the
fair value of the Cit
y 's share of the LGIP's assets was substantially equal to the amount as
reported in these statements.

Receivables
Property taxes are levied in December on the assessed value as of the prior January 1. In addition
to property taxes for the City, taxes are collected for and remitted to the county government as well
as the local school district and technical college district. Taxes for all state and local governmental
units billed in the current year for the succeeding year are reflected as receivables and due to other
taxing units on the accompanying statement of fiduciary net position.

Accounts receivable have been shown net of an allowance for uncollectible accounts. Delinquent
real estate taxes as of July 31 are paid in full by the County, which assumes the collection thereof.
No provision for uncollectible accounts receivable has been made for the water and sewer utilities
because they have the right by law to place substantially all delinquent bills on the tax roll and other
delinquent bills are generally not significant.
During the course of operations, transactions occur between individual funds that may result in
amounts owed between funds. Short-term interfund loans are reported as "due to and from other
funds." Long-term interfund loans (noncurrent portion) are reported as "advances from and to other
funds." Interfund receivables and payables between funds within governmental activities are
eliminated in the statement of net position.
Any residual balances outstanding between the
governmental activities and business-type activities are reported in the governmental-wide financial
statements as internal balances.
Inventories and Prepaid Items
Governmental fund inventories, if material, are recorded at cost based on the FIFO method using
the purchases method of accounting. Proprietary fund inventories are generally used for
construction and/or for operation and maintenance work. They are not for resale. They are valued
at cost based on weighted average and charged to construction and/or operation and maintenance
expense when used.
Certain payments to vendors reflect costs applicable to future accounting periods and are recorded
as prepaid items in both government-wide and fund financial statements. The cost of prepaid items
is recorded as expenditures/expenses when consumed rather than when purchased.
Restricted Assets
Mandatory segregations of assets are presented as restricted assets. Such segregations are
required by bond agreements and other external parties. Current liabilities payable from these
restricted assets are so classified. The excess of restricted assets over current liabilities payable
from restricted assets will be used first for retirement of related long-term debt. The remainder, if
generated from earnings, is shown as restricted net position.

Capital Assets
Government-Wide Financial Statements
Capital assets, which include property, plant and equipment are reported in the government-
wide financial statements. Capital assets are defined by the government as assets with an
initial cost of more than $5,000 general capital assets and for infrastructure assets and an
estimated useful life in excess of 1 year. All capital assets are valued at historical cost or
estimated historical cost if actual amounts are unavailable. Donated capital assets are
recorded at their estimated acquisition value at the date of donation.
Additions to and replacements of capital assets of business-type activities are recorded at
original cost, which includes material, labor and overhead. The cost of renewals and
betterments relating to retirement units is added to plant accounts. The cost of property
replaced, retired or otherwise disposed of, is deducted from plant accounts and, generally,
together with removal costs less salvage, is charged to accumulated depreciation.
Depreciation and amortization of all exhaustible capital assets is recorded as an allocated
expense in the statement of activities, with accumulated depreciation and amortization
reflected in the statement of net position. Depreciation and amortization is provided over the
assets' estimated useful lives using the straight-line method. The range of estimated useful
lives by type of asset is as follows:
Buildings and improvements 15-40 Years
Land improvements 10-40 Years
Equipment 2-20 Years
Water and sewer plant 4-100 Years
Infrastructure 20-60 Years
Intangibles 3-20 Years
Librar
y 15-50 Years
Fund Financial Statements
In the fund financial statements, capital assets used in governmental fund operations are
accounted for as capital outlay expenditures of the governmental fund upon acquisition.
Capital assets used in proprietary fund operations are accounted for the same way as in the
government-wide statements.
Deferred Outflows of Resources
A deferred outflow of resources represents a consumption of net assets that applies to a future
period and will not be recognized as an outflow of resources (expense/expenditure) until that future
time.
Compensated Absences
Compensated absences represent liabilities arising from the City's sick and vacation leave policies.
The sick leave policy allows employees (excluding firefighters) to accrue sick leave at a rate of one
day per month to a maximum of 130 days. Represented firefighters are allowed to accrue up to
135 hours per year to a maximum of 1,920 hours. The maximum accumulation for full-time
employees hired after January 1, 2016 is 1,456 hours. If such days are not taken as paid time of
f
during the course of employment, payment may be received upon termination (resign or
retirement) at a rate of 25% of total accrued benefits or 50% of total accrued benefits after 5 years
of service. A liability is recorded in the full-accrual government-wide and proprietary fund financial
statements accordingly based on hours accrued at year end and current pay rate.

City of Pewaukee
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2024
The City's vacation leave policy allows employees hired before 2015 to accrue vacation benefits
beginning in the year of hire. Vacation leave accrues to a maximum of five weeks based upon
each employee's length of service. Vacation leave can only be accrued to a maximum of 150% of
the earned benefit based upon the employee's seniority at any point during the year. Represented
firefighters are not allowed to carryover any days to the next year. For employees hired after
January 1, 2015 vacation leave can only be accrued to a maximum of 100% of the earned benefit
based upon the employee's seniority at any point during the year. A liability is recorded in the full-
accrual government-wide and proprietary fund financial statements accordingly based on hours
accrued at year end and current pay rate.
Long-Term Obligations
All long-term obligations to be repaid from governmental and business-type resources are reported
as liabilities in the government-wide statements. The long-term obligations consist primarily of
notes and bonds payable and accrued compensated absences.
Long-term obligations for governmental funds are not reported as liabilities in the fund financial
statements. The face value of debts (plus any premiums) are reported as other financing sources
and payments of principal and interest are reported as expenditures. The accounting in proprietar
y
funds is the same as it is in the government-wide statements.
For the government-wide statements and proprietary fund statements, bond premiums and
discounts are amortized over the life of the issue using the straight-line method. The balance at
year end is shown as an increase or decrease in the liability section of the statement of net
position.
Deferred Inflows of Resources
A deferred inflow of resources represents an acquisition of net assets that applies to a future
period and therefore will not be recognized as an inflow of resources (revenue) until that future
time.
Equity Classifications
Government-Wide Statements
Equity is classified as net position and displayed in three components:
a. Net Investment in Capital Assets - Consists of capital assets including restricted
capital assets, net of accumulated depreciation/amortization and reduced by the
outstanding balances (excluding unspent debt proceeds) of any bonds, mortgages,
notes or other borrowings that are attributable to the acquisition, construction or
improvement of those assets.
b. Restricted Net Position - Consists of net position with constraints placed on their use
either by 1) external groups such as creditors, grantors, contributors or laws or
regulations of other governments or, 2) law through constitutional provisions or
enabling legislation.
c. Unrestricted Net Position - All other net positions that do not meet the definitions of
"restricted" or "net investment in capital assets."
When both restricted and unrestricted resources are available for use, it is the Cit
y's policy to
use restricted resources first, then unrestricted resources as they are needed.

Fund Statements
Governmental fund balances are displayed as follows:
a. Nonspendable - Includes fund balance amounts that cannot be spent either because
they are not in spendable form or because legal or contractual requirements require
them to be maintained intact.
b. Restricted - Consists of fund balances with constraints placed on their use either by
1) external groups such as creditors, grantors, contributors or laws or regulations of
other governments or 2) law through constitutional provisions or enabling legislation.
c. Committed - Includes fund balance amounts that are constrained for specific
purposes that are internally imposed by the government through formal action of the
highest level of decision making authority. Fund balance amounts are committed
through a formal action (resolution) of the Common Council. This formal action must
occur prior to the end of the reporting period, but the amount of the commitment,
which will be subject to the constraints, may be determined in the subsequent period.
Any changes to the constraints imposed require the same formal action of the
Common Council that originally created the commitment.
d. Assigned - Includes spendable fund balance amounts that are intended to be used for
specific purposes that do not meet the criteria to be classified as restricted or
committed. The Council may take official action to assign amounts. Assignments may
take place after the end of the reporting period.
e. Unassigned - Includes residual positive fund balance within the general fund which
has not been classified within the other above mentioned categories. Unassigned fund
balance may also include negative balances for any governmental fund if expenditures
exceed amounts restricted, committed or assigned for those purposes.
Proprietary fund equity is classified the same as in the government-wide statements.
The City considers restricted amounts to be spent first when both restricted and unrestricted
fund balance is available unless there are legal documents / contracts that prohibit doing this,
such as in grant agreements requiring dollar for dollar spending. Additionally, the City would
first use committed, then assigned and lastly unassigned amounts of unrestricted fund balance
when expenditures are made.
The City has a formal minimum fund balance policy. That policy is to maintain a working capital
fund of 10% of subsequent years general fund budgeted expenditures. The balance at year
end was $2,264,471, and is included in unassigned general fund balance. Furthermore, the
City's policy states that the unassigned fund balance shall be maintained as of December 31 o
f
each year equal to a minimum of 20% of the ensuing year's budgeted general fund revenue.
As of December 31, 2024, the City's unassigned fund balance was 25% of subsequent year's
budgeted general fund revenue.

Pension
The fiduciary net position of the Wisconsin Retirement System (WRS) has been determined using
the flow of economic resources measurement focus and accrual basis of accounting. This includes
for purposes of measuring the following:
Net Pension Liability (Asset);
Deferred Outflows of Resources and Deferred Inflows of Resources Related to Pensions;
and
Pension Expense (Revenue).
Information about the fiduciary net position of the WRS and additions to/deductions from WRS'
fiduciary net position have been determined on the same basis as they are reported by the WRS.
For this purpose, benefit payments (including refunds of employee contributions) are recognized
when due and payable in accordance with the benefit terms. Investments are reported at fair value.
Basis for Existing Rates
Water and Sewer Rates
Current water rates were approved by the Public Service Commission of Wisconsin and
effective on March 1, 2024.
Current sewer rates were approved by the Common Council January 2021.

which exceeded appropriations. The detail of those items can be found in the City's year-end budget to
actual report.
Deficit Balances
Generally accepted accounting principles require disclosure of individual funds that have deficit
balances at year end.
As of December 31, 2024, the following individual funds held a deficit balance:
Fund Amount Reason
Capital Projects - DPW Building Fund $ 1,290,100 Expenditures exceeded original
funding source
Special Revenue - Tourism and
Convention
255,521 Expenditures exceeded original

Limitations on the City's Tax Levy
Wisconsin law limits the City's future tax levies. Generally the City is limited to its prior tax levy dollar
amount (excluding TIF Districts), increased by the greater of the percentage change in the City's
equalized value due to net new construction or zero percent. Changes in debt service from one year to
the next are generally exempt from this limit with certain exceptions. The Cit
y is required to reduce its
allowable levy by the estimated amount of fee revenue it collects for certain services, if those services
were funded in 2013 by the property tax levy. Levies can be increased above the allowable limits if the
amount is approved by referendum.

Bank accounts are also insured by the State Deposit Guarantee Fund in the amount of $1,000,000.
However, due to the nature of this fund, recovery of material principal losses may not be significant to
individual municipalities. This coverage has not been considered in computing custodial credit risk.
The Cit
y maintains collateral agreements with its banks. At December 31, 2024, the banks had
pledged various government securities in the amount of $14,804,170 to secure the City's deposits.
The City categorizes its fair value measurements within the fair value hierarchy established by
generally accepted accounting principles. The hierarchy is based on the valuation inputs used to
measure the fair value of the asset. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical
assets; Level 2 inputs are significant other observable inputs; Level 3 inputs are significant
unobservable inputs.
The valuation methods for recurring fair value measurements are as follows:
Quoted market prices for similar or identical assets in active markets

Deposits
Custodial credit risk is the risk that in the event of a financial institution failure, the City's
deposits may not be returned to the City.
As of December 31, 2024, $8,390,917 of the City's total bank balances were exposed to
custodial credit risk as follows:
Uninsured and uncollateralized $ 8,390,917
Investments
For an investment, custodial credit risk is the risk that, in the event of the failure of the
counterparty, the City will not be able to recover the value of its investments or collateral
securities that are in the possession of an outside party.
The City does not have any investments exposed to custodial credit risk.

All amounts are due within one year.
The principal purpose of these interfunds is to fund timing differences and fund temporary cash
deficits. All remaining balances resulted from the time lag between the dates that (1) interfund
goods and services are provided or reimbursable expenditures occur, (2) transactions are
recorded in the accounting system and (3) payments between funds are made.
Advances
The sewer utility has advanced funds to the water utility totaling $7,404,609. The amount advanced
is determined by the water utility asset balance as of May 31, 2016 when the water and sewer
divisions were split along with the debt payments from 2016-2021 for the water utility that were
funded by the sewer utility. During 2023, the sewer utility established a repayment plan with the
water utility which included forgiving $5,312,577 of the original advance. No interest is being
charged.
The general fund has advance funds to the DPW building fund. The amount advanced is
determined by the deficiency of revenues over expenditures and other financing sources since the
funds' inceptions. No interest is being charged on the advance and no repayment schedule has
been established. The advance is expected to be repaid with future borrowings.

Employees' Retirement System
Plan Description
The WRS is a cost-sharing multiple-employer defined benefit pension plan. WRS benefits and
other plan provisions are established by Chapter 40 of the Wisconsin Statutes. Benefit terms may
only be modified by the legislature. The retirement system is administered by the Wisconsin
Department of Employee Trust Funds (ETF). The system provides coverage to all eligible State of
Wisconsin, local government and other public employees. All employees, initially employed by a
participating WRS employer on or after July 1, 2011, expected to work at least 1,200 hours a year
(880 hours for teachers and school district educational support employees) and expected to be
employed for at least one year from employee's date of hire are eligible to participate in the WRS.
ETF issues a standalone Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR), which can be found at
https://etf.wi.gov/about-etf/reports-and-studies/financial-reports-and-statements
.
Additionally, ETF issued a standalone Wisconsin Retirement System Financial Report, which can
also be found using the link above.
Vesting
For employees beginning participation on or after January 1, 1990, and no longer actively
employed on or after April 24, 1998, creditable service in each of five years is required for eligibility
for a retirement annuity. Participants employed prior to 1990 and on or after April 24, 1998, and
prior to July 1, 2011, are immediately vested. Participants who initially became WRS eligible on or
after July 1, 2011, must have five years of creditable service to be vested.
Benefits Provided
Employees who retire at or after age 65 (54 for protective occupation employees, 62 for elected
officials and executive service retirement participants, if hired on or before 12/31/2016) are entitled
to a retirement benefit based on a formula factor, their final average earnings, and creditable
service.
Final average earnings is the average of the participant's three highest annual earnings period.
Creditable service includes current service and prior service for which a participant received
earnings and made contributions as required. Creditable service also includes creditable military
service. The retirement benefit will be calculated as a money purchase benefit based on the
employee's contributions plus matching employer's contributions, with interest, if that benefit is
higher than the formula benefit.
Vested participants may retire at age 55 (50 for protective occupations) and receive an
actuarially-reduced benefit. Participants terminating covered employment prior to eligibility for an
annuity may either receive employee-required contributions plus interest as a separation benefit or
leave contributions on deposit and defer application until eligible to receive a retirement benefit.
The WRS also provides death and disability benefits for employees.

Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2024
Postretirement Adjustments
The Employee Trust Funds Board may periodically adjust annuity payments from the retirement
system based on annual investment performance in accordance with s. 40.27, Wis. Stat. An
increase (or decrease) in annuity payments may result when investment gains (losses), together
with other actuarial experience factors, create a surplus (shortfall) in the reserves, as determined
by the system's consulting actuary. Annuity increases are not based on cost of living or other
similar factors. For Core annuities, decreases may be applied only to previously granted increases.
By law, Core annuities cannot be reduced to an amount below the original, guaranteed amount
(the floor) set at retirement. The Core and Variable annuity adjustments granted during recent
years are as follows:
Year
Core Fund
Adjustment %
Variable Fund
Adjustment %
2014 4.7 25.0
2015 2.9 2.0
2016 0.5 (5.0)

2020 1.7 21.0
2021 5.1 13.0
2022 7.4 15.0
2023 1.6 (21.0)
Contributions
Required contributions are determined by an annual actuarial valuation in accordance with Chapter
40 of the Wisconsin Statutes. The employee required contribution is one-half of the actuarially
determined contribution rate for General category employees, including Teachers, Executives and
Elected Officials. Starting on January 1, 2016, the Executives and Elected Officials category was
merged into the General Employee category. Required contributions for protective employees are
the same rate as general employees. Employers are required to contribute the remainder of the
actuarially determined contribution rate. The employer may not pay the employee required
contribution unless provided for by an existing collective bargaining agreement.
During the reporting period, the WRS recognized $697,267 in contributions from the City.
Contribution rates for the plan year reported as of December 31, 2024 are:
Employee Category

General (Executives & Elected Officials) 6.80 % 6.80 %

At December 31, 2024, the City reported a liability of $769,673 for its proportionate share of the net
pension liability. The net pension liability was measured as of December 31, 2023, and the total
pension liability used to calculate the net pension liability was determined by an actuarial valuation
as of December 31, 2022 rolled forward to December 31, 2023. No material changes in
assumptions or benefit terms occurred between the actuarial valuation date and the measurement
date. The Cit
y's proportion of the net pension liability was based on the City's share of contributions
to the pension plan relative to the contributions of all participating employers. At December 31,
2024, the Cit
y's proportion was 0.05176689%, which was an increase of 0.00180542% from its
proportion measured as of December 31, 2023.

Long-Term Expected Return on Plan Assets
The long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was determined using a
building-block method in which best-estimate ranges of expected future real rates of return
(expected returns, net of pension plan investment expense and inflation) are developed for each
major asset class. These ranges are combined to produce the long-term expected rate of return by
weighting the expected future real rates of return by the target asset allocation percentage and by
adding expected inflation. The target allocation and best estimates of geometric real rates of return
for each major asset class are summarized in the following table:

** New England Pension Consultants' Long-Term U.S. CPI (Inflation) Forecast: 2.7%
*** The investment policy used for the Core Fund involves reducing equity exposure by leveraging
lower-volatility assets, such as fixed income securities. Currently, an asset allocation target of
12% policy leverage is used subject to an allowable range of up to 20%.

Single Discount Rate
A single discount rate of 6.8% was used to measure the total pension liability for the current and
prior year. This discount rate is based on the expected rate of return on pension plan investments
of 6.8% and a municipal bond rate of 3.77% (Source: Fixed-income municipal bonds with 20 years
to maturity that include only federally tax-exempt municipal bonds as reported in Fidelity Index's
"20-year Municipal GO AA Index" as of December 31, 2023. In describing this index, Fidelity notes
that the Municipal Curves are constructed using option-adjusted analytics of a diverse population
of over 10,000 tax-exempt securities.). Because of the unique structure of WRS, the 6.8%
expected rate of return implies that a dividend of approximately 1.7% will always be paid. For
purposes of the single discount rate, it was assumed that the dividend would always be paid. The
projection of cash flows used to determine this single discount rate assumed that plan member
contributions will be made at the current contribution rate and that employer contributions will be
made at rates equal to the difference between actuarially determined contribution rates and the
member rate. Based on these assumptions, the pension plan's fiduciary net position was projected
to be available to make all projected future benefit payments (including expected dividends) of
current plan members. Therefore, the investment rate of return on pension plan investments was
applied to all periods of projected benefit payments to determine the total pension liability.
Sensitivity of the City's Proportionate Share of the Net Pension Liability (Asset) to Changes in
the Discount Rate
The following presents the Cit
y's proportionate share of the net pension liability (asset) calculated
using the discount rate of 6.80%, as well as what the City's proportionate share of the net pension
liability (asset) would be if it were calculated using a discount rate that is 1-percentage-point lower
(5.80%) or 1-percentage-point higher (7.80%) than the current rate:

Pension Plan Fiduciary Net Position
Detailed information about the pension plan's fiduciary net position is available in separately issued
financial statements available at https://etf.wi.gov/about-etf/reports-and-studies/financial-reports-
and-statements.
At December 31, 2024, the City reported a payable to the pension plan of $130,386, which
represents contractually required contributions outstanding as of the end of the year.
Risk Management
The City is exposed to various risks of loss related to torts; theft of, damage to or destruction of assets;
errors and omissions; workers compensation; and health care of its employees. All of these risks are
covered through the purchase of commercial insurance, with minimal deductibles. Settled claims have
not exceeded the commercial coverage in any of the past three years. There were no significant
reductions in coverage compared to the prior year.

Commitments and Contingencies
Claims and judgments are recorded as liabilities if all the conditions of Governmental Accounting
Standards Board pronouncements are met. The liability and expenditure for claims and judgments are
only reported in governmental funds if it has matured. Claims and judgments are recorded in the
government-wide statements and proprietary funds as expenses when the related liabilities are
incurred.
From time to time, the Cit
y is party to various pending claims and legal proceedings. Although the
outcome of such matters cannot be forecasted with certainty, it is the opinion of management and the
Cit
y attorney that the likelihood is remote that any such claims or proceedings will have a material
adverse effect on the City's financial position or results of operations.
The City has active construction projects as of December 31, 2024. Work that has been completed on
these projects but not yet paid for (including contract retainages) is reflected as accounts payable and
expenditures.
The Cit
y has the following encumbrances outstanding at year end expected to be honored upon
performance by the vendor:
Sewer $ 2,799,014
Road construction 278,237
Capital equipment 1,244,147
Joint Ventures
Pewaukee Public Library
The City of Pewaukee and the Village of Pewaukee jointly operate the library, which is called the

The plans provided show the boathouse ten feet from the east side property line and over five feet from
the ordinary high-water mark. These setbacks are in conformance with the minimum required setbacks
of the Zoning Ordinance. The property is also in conformance with lot coverage requirements of the
Shoreland Overlay District and the mitigation plan previously approved by the Plan Commission.
The boathouse is partially located within the floodplain and construction of the boathouse shall comply
with the requirements of Section 207-13B. of the Floodplain Zoning Ordinance.
In consideration of this review, it should be noted that the City defines a boathouse as “[a] structure
designed to protect or store boats, which may be built no closer than five (5) feet from the ordinary
high-water mark of a lake or stream.” Boat is defined as “[a] vessel that is designed to carry at least
one individual on the surface of a body of water, and is propelled by oars, paddles, wind or motor
power. Motor power includes, but is not limited to, power generated by steam engine, electric motor or
combustion engine of any kind.”

Planner & Community Development Director Nick Fuchs
Furthermore, the State of Wisconsin defines a boathouse as “a permanent structure used for the storage
of watercraft and associated materials and includes all structures which are totally enclosed, have roofs
or walls or any combination of these structural parts.”
Recommendation
Staff recommends a motion to approve the Conditional Use application and plans for the construction
of a new boathouse located at N27W27074 Woodland Drive.

Common Council Members-
We are proposing a new boathouse that aligns with the code intent and required parameters on a
conforming 90’ lot. We are NOT building a boathouse to be used as an entertainment area. Rather, we
intend to store boating accessories, jet ski accessories, kayaks, paddle boards, lake improvement
tools/equipment, etc. We would like them in an enclosed area to declutter the yard. Additionally, we
would like to prevent quicker deterioration from the elements.
Construction on our new home is nearly complete, and we plan on using the same building finishes
(siding/roof/etc.) for the boathouse. It was designed by the same architect with guidance provided by
the city. While we have a conforming lot for our new home, it presented many challenges. We have
worked closely with the city throughout the past several years to meet our objectives. To that end, we
addressed the following:
Created a city-approved rainwater mitigation plan that allows for additional square feet of
impervious space to accommodate the boat house.
Provided plans that meet all following requirements including:
o Distance to high water mark
o Distance to neighbor’s lot lines
o Maximum furthest distance from the lake
o Maximum boat house height
o Flood plain requirements
o Maximum square footage (max boathouse square footage is 450 sq feet, our boat house
is 294 square feet)
o Aesthetics to blend with house - design and construction materials
o Use as code has intended -- not a bar and/or entertainment area
o Upon approval of a boathouse, we will remove an existing 172 sq feet round patio area
by the lake
As stated, we worked extensively with the City of Pewaukee to meet all requirements. The Planning
Commission approved the plan. Additionally, we reached out to our immediate neighbors on both sides
while we worked with the landscape architect to ascertain their preferences for plantings near their
decks. We again reached out to our neighbors following the meeting of the planning commission to
address concerns. We intentionally and thoughtfully designed a boathouse that would meet our needs
at the minimum size necessary.
Currently, approximately 10 of 28 homes on our street have new or existing boathouses. This is nothing
different for the area.
We have lived at this property for 11 years and greatly appreciate the area. We intend this to be our
final home and have truly worked hard to create a residence that we love and that adds value to our
neighborhood.

Date: January 7, 2026
Project Name: Cold Noses Sanctuary Conditional Use
Project Address/Tax Key No.: N47W26699 LYNNDALE ROAD / PWC 0882999001
Applicant: Thalia Haseotes, Cold Noses Sanctuary Property LLC
Property Owner: Cold Noses Sanctuary Property LLC
Current Zoning: A-1 Agricultural District, UC Upland Conservancy District, and F-1 Floodplain
District
2050 Land Use Map Designation: Low Density Residential ( > 2 Ac. / D.U.) and Floodplains,
Lowland, & Upland Conservancy and Other Natural Areas
Use of Surrounding Properties: Village of Lisbon to the north, agricultural land to the south and east
(planned for future industrial development), and single-family residential to the west
Project Description/Analysis
The applicant filed a Conditional Use Application requesting to utilize the property located at
N47W26699 Lynndale Road for an animal sanctuary and hobby farm use. The use will consist of
housing animals including, but not limited to dogs, cats, horses, goats, and donkeys. Animals may be
kept on a short-term or long-term basis. Animals will be up for adoption; however, those not adopted
will live out their lives on the farm.
The use will be operated by the owner and will include an onsite caretaker and volunteers. The
applicant also noted that they will work with veterinarians on a regular basis.
The A-1 District permits several of the proposed uses including grazing or pasturing, vegetable or fruit
raising, paddocks, barns and other non-residential buildings necessary for farm operations, and
commercial and hobby kennels. The A-1 District also allows, as a Conditional Use, animal hospitals
and shelters.
The applicant describes the use as agritourism, where the public will be invited to the site to experience
the daily operations of the farm and visit or view the animals. Educational programs and activities are
planned as well as other types of events.
Educational programs, classes, field trips, fundraisers, holiday events and other similar events and
uses shall be limited to one hundred and fifty (150) people or less, unless otherwise approved by
Special Event Permit. Furthermore, the property owner shall notify Police Services and the Fire
Department of events of 50 to 150 people. Note the applicant may, in the future, request that this
Conditional Use Permit be amended to allow a larger capacity for events. Staff notes that parking,
restroom facilities, and other improvements may be needed at that time. Also, depending on the
proposed size of events, traffic and access studies may be needed.
Page 70 of 137
Planner & Community Development Director Nick Fuchs
Staff also recommends that hours of operations for event type uses be limited to 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m.
Sunday through Thursday and 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays.
The applicant states that the existing barn structure may incorporate other uses such as an area for
events, fundraisers, picnic lunches, craft space, yoga, and retail space. Staff recommends that the
existing 1910 barn may be used for agricultural purposes, consisting of permitted principal and
accessory uses within the A-1 District. Any other use of this building shall be subject to approval of a
Conditional Use Amendment. Furthermore, the 1910 barn shall comply will all applicable commercial
building and occupancy codes, prior to the commencement of any commercial use of the structure.
Moreover, staff recommends that a parking lot, approved by staff via Minor Site & Building Plan
Review Application, shall be constructed prior to events being held within this facility.
The applicant has indicated plans in 2026 and 2027 to renovate existing buildings and construct new
buildings. All applicable building permits and approvals for the renovations of existing buildings must
be obtained prior to the commencement of any work on the existing buildings. New buildings and
additions are subject to Plan Commission review of Site & Building Plan Review Applications in
accordance with Section 340-2.9B(4) of the Zoning Code.
Again, staff recommends that the parking lot and drive expansion shown on the attached site plan be
subject to staff review and approval of a Minor Building & Site Plan Review Application. Lighting,
landscaping, storm water management facilities, and other future building and site modifications will
require staff or Plan Commission review as determined by the City Planner.
There is 100-year floodplain and an unnamed intermittent stream on the property. The A-1 District
requires a minimum building setback of 75-feet from the 100-year floodplain boundary. As such, no
building, as defined in Section 340-16.2, shall be allowed within 75-feet of the 100-year floodplain.
Fencing and non-walled structures shall be allowed up to the floodplain boundary unless more
restrictive setbacks apply.
No building or structure shall be located within 75-feet of the ordinary high water mark of the
intermittent stream on the property unless permitted under the Shoreland Overlay District.
The applicant has indicated that event parking will be located in front of the barn and within the fields
on the south end of the property, but outside of the floodplain boundary. Staff recommends that event
parking shall be allowed within unimproved areas of the site, but shall be setback a minimum of 75-
feet from the ordinary high water mark of the intermittent stream onsite.
The applicant has noted that animals will be kept to the space requirements of the Association of
Shelter Veterinarians. According to the applicant, these standards require one acre per horse, one acre
per one to three goats, and 0.5 acres per donkey.
The applicant has indicated that they intend to keep up to five horses, twelve dogs, twelve cats, ten
goats, and two donkeys onsite.
Page 71 of 137
Planner & Community Development Director Nick Fuchs
Below are recommended conditions of approval regarding the keeping of animals onsite. Several

Cold Noses Sanctuary
Narrative
Overview
Cold Noses Sanctuary is a non-profit organization that will help rescue special needs animals
(mainly dogs, cats, horses, goats and donkeys) from high-kill shelters and other emergency
situations. Often, these animals need time, tenderness, and someone to make them feel safe in
order for them to live out their lives in peace. As is often the case with all animals, special needs
animals bring out the best in people and demonstrate resilience and perseverance to others
facing their own challenges.
Cold Noses Sanctuary will be a place where animals are healing, and many will live out their
lives here. Our hope is that we will be find forever homes for some of these animals through
interactions with the public. Adoptions and fostering are not a regularly occurring part of our
program, but we would expect them to happen occasionally. This is an opportunity for an
animal to find their own forever family and thus open more space for us to help another. We
will have adoption and foster applications, check Veterinary references and keep in close
contact with our fosters and adopters with a “take back” policy if they cannot keep the animal
for any reason.
On a daily basis this will appear as a small scale farm with onsite care taker, volunteers ,and the
animals The activities set forth will fall well within the scope of agritourism, as defined by
Wisconsin Department of Agriculture. 1We will be a working farm, and the education and
agritourism will be a source of revenue generation for our sanctuary. At all times- even at our
busiest, tranquility and calmness will be sought to be maintained for the well-being of our
resident animals. We are not a zoo, and therefore we will neither force nor guarantee animal
encounters with the public. Part of our educational program is to show that these animals are
living their lives and deserve to have a say in their daily interactions. This is ultimately the safest
way to interact. The animals will be housed in secure buildings and have access to fenced yards
(dogs), pastures (farm animals), and an enclosed “catio” for the cats. We adhere to the
standards provided by the Association of Shelter Veterinariansi for minimum space
requirements. Additionally, we follow protocol for standards for 1 acre per horse and 1 acre per
1-3 goats and .5 acre per donkey. 2
The sanctuary will be run daily by the live-in resident. (Lead Sanctuary Manager) There will be a
core group of volunteers as the animal population grows, to help with the care and public
outreach. We will work with several Veterinarians who will come to the farm on a regular
schedule to oversee care processes and diagnose any conditions. Farriers will work with our
livestock to ensure hoof health.

Page 73 of 137
Site Development
We will seek zoning approval for the site to include an additional building, parking for drives and
parking, lighting, landscaping and any necessary storm water management that may be
required. The buildings will require sanitary service and thus a new septic system will be
developed to meet the demands.
Bowser’s Bungalow: (New Build)
We will have a building for the dogs with a room for the dogs to each have their own sleeping
space. There will be no more than 12 dogs living in the sanctuary at its largest. Each dog will
have a “bungalow” or room to sleep at night and to separately feed. Their rooms each open up
to a larger living room with couches, fireplace, dog beds, classical music and toys. For most of
these dogs, this is their forever home, and as such, we intend to make this feel like home in
every way possible. These are not kennels. We are not a kennel. In fact, we are often rescuing
these animals from kennels where their survival is not guaranteed and often at extreme risk of
euthanasia due to factors such as their age or a disability. A loud facility would not help these
animals in anyway, and therefore we intend to have a very tranquil environment. The dogs may
stay inside or choose to go outside during the day into the fenced in yard. Any excessive barking
is a sign of a need not being met- so any barking dog will be promptly addressed and tended to.
They will have constant opportunity for enrichment which will also reduce barking levels. Dogs
will have no access to outdoors after bedtime. Essentially, this will be run exactly the same as a
home is with a pet-other than potty breaks, the dogs are in at night. The dogs will not be loose
outdoors if there is no one on the grounds.
Cat Barn: (Existing Structure)
free space for up to 12 cats to live comfortably. Reading nooks and couches for volunteers to
interact, along with a prep sink and storage space. Catio outdoor screened porch for
enrichment.
1910 Barn: (Existing Structure)
The current use would be to leave it as is. However, the barn is currently under structural
evaluation with the intent restoring it subject to costs and availability of funds. The intent is to
bring it up to commercial code purposes. The intended use will be to use the lower level
(milking stalls) as a three season play space for the dogs that is covered from the elements. We
will level the floor and clean the area to make it a bright, airy space for the dogs to run. The
upper level of the barn will be used as 3-season event space subject to to modification and
approval of the CUP. Picnic lunches, craft space, yoga etc. could held here. Eventually a space to
host a fundraiser and a small area for retail.
Farm Animal Barn: (Existing Structure)
Renovate this barn to include 5 horse stalls, a wash stall, feed/tack room, and two large, herd
stalls (goats and donkeys). Windows and Dutch doors and run out pasture. This is to be
underway, by Morton Buildings, in the January of 2026. A manure holding area will be built by
Morton as well and hold manure before it is hauled offsite.
Page 74 of 137
Pastures
Several pastures will be placed throughout the fields both on the South and North fields for
rotating the animals on pasture. We will expect to max at approximately 5 horses, 10 goats and
2 donkeys.
Growing Pastures
We expect to have several fields where vegetables will be planted. And many areas of
wildflowers and fruit trees.
Community Outreach
We hope to provide people with all abilities the opportunity to meet and interact with these
animals- many who may have the same “disabilities” as they do. In doing so, they see the
strength and resilience of these animals and find it in themselves. We hope this special place
will create an emotional bond between animals and humans for those suffering from physical
illness or disabilities or non-physical ailments or disabilities such as: PTSD, anxiety, depression, &
terminal diseases in an attempt to provide comfort, reduce stress, and support their emotional
and physical well-being.
Educational programs could include class trips to visit the farm or come read to the animals
(proven to help nervous readers and calming for the animals). Class visit sizes would be limited
to under 30 and would be split into groups of 10 or less to visit the individual buildings. Groups
will provide chaperones, and we will have at least one staff member with each group. We
expect most classes to be under 25. Depending on the ages and maturity level of the groups, we
will allow them to interact with certain animals in a controlled, calm manner with a staff
member present. Craft and activities held on a weekly basis for regular fundraising will be
limited to 15 people per class. Interactions with the animals are never forced. Animals will have
free ability to retreat if they so choose. One of the important lessons we hope to instill in our
visitors, is that this is the animal’s home, and as such, we must always respect their agency.
The site will be developed to include additional drives and parking along the east side of the
1910 barn on what we anticipate for daily usage and small groups. We would be using the fields
outside the flood zone for parking for the larger events.
Large Fundraisers and educational days would remain small-scale so as not to stress the
animals. We expect the first few years to remain this way with under 50 people at our largest
gatherings at one time. As we grow and have renovated the 1910 barn we hope to grow these
events to no more than 100 people. These would still be on occasion. If a once-per-year
fundraiser were to be bigger, we would approach the town with such an event plan. The
majority of these fundraisers will be small in nature, craft classes, meet and greets with the
Page 75 of 137
animals, tours, Halloween and/or Christmas days at the farm, movies under the stars, pumpkin
picking etc. Some of these activities (pumpkin picking for example) will be ongoing so there will
be people coming and going throughout the day. Ultimately though, we are a sanctuary for
these animals and need to maintain a healthy balance of fundraising, raising awareness and
tranquility on the farm so as to allow these animals to live out their lives comfortably and with
minimal stress.
All of our animals would be rescued, and people could adopt them, or they would live their lives
out on a serene and beautiful farm. My son and I love to grow pumpkins and vegetables and
just enjoy the farm life. Nothing about the farm would be for our financial benefit. Anything sold
on the farm would benefit the non-profit. We want to be part of the community and a safe,
calming space in an otherwise hectic and chaotic world.
Background
I am no stranger to the animal world or the business world. At age 25, I opened and operated a
successful, upscale, doggie daycare and spa for over 60 dogs for 10 years before I had my son.
This building was in VERY close proximity to several homes and businesses in Massachusetts and
I was always able to retain a healthy relationship with our neighbors even with 60 excited dogs
playing outdoors at one time!
As an owner of many special needs animals, I know the time and dedication and funding
necessary to help these animals live to their full potential. I have founded and been acting
President of Cold Noses Foundation since 2010- a global non- profit that funds animal rescues
and shelters all over the world. Cold Noses Sanctuary is its own 501c 3 public charity. We carry
non-profit insurance as well as liability for all of the proposed activities.
Our hope is to pay homage to the farmers that were working this land before us. We intend to
create a general sense of responsibility to the environment and our land and nature with whom
we share this property. Pollinator gardens and fruit trees will line the buildings and surrounding
grounds. Walking trails for volunteers or visitors to enjoy will be marked with conservation-
theme markers and plant and nature identifying signs.
Licensing and Requirements
Once we house 4 or more dogs we will apply for the hobby kennel license as is required by city
ordinance. We will require all animals we intake from out of state to be quarantined as per state
law. We will not be required by Wisconsin State law to have any rescue or animal shelter license
as we will not house more than 25 dogs a year. We train our staff and volunteers through
emergency protocols, animal handling techniques, and require various courses to be passed in
order for volunteers to work with the animals as mandated by our insurance policy.
Waste Storage and Disposal
Dog and cat waste is collected daily of via pooper scoopers and litter scoops and disposed of
into trash bags which is collected weekly.
Page 76 of 137
Farm animal waste is shoveled daily and stored in the manure pit (to be built by Morton

Introduction
Overview
Cold Noses Sanctuary is a non-profit organization that will help rescue special needs animals (mainly
dogs, cats, horses, goats and donkeys) from high-kill shelters and other emergency situations. Often,
these animals need time, tenderness, and someone to make them feel safe in order for them to live
out their lives in peace. As is often the case with all animals, special needs animals bring out the best
in people and demonstrate resilience and perseverance to others facing their own challenges.

Why a Sanctuary for Special
Needs?
It is estimated that nearly 400,000 animals were euthanized in shelters across the USA last
year alone.
Many of these animals are healthy individuals and are killed for space alone. Usually, rural
shelters and high kill city shelters will opt to kill the animals that require “special” needs.
These could be things as simple as dental work to being adult rather than a puppy or kitten,
or serious medical or behavioral issues.
We believe these animals all deserve a chance to live out their lives in peace and comfort.
Humans have put these animals in this situation, and we should not and cannot “kill” our way
out of it.
Cold Noses Sanctuary aims to help by taking animals at high risk of euthanasia (special needs
and geriatric animals) to live out their days in safety and comfort on our farm. Being a small
farm, we realize we will not have a large impact on the actual numbers of animals saved every
year...but by engaging the community we hope that we will teach the next generation that
every life matters and it is our responsibility to protect these animals. We will make a small
dent in the euthanasia rates, but a huge impact on the lives we save and the human lives that
interact with them.

Cold Noses Sanctuary
Narrative
Overview
Cold Noses Sanctuary is a non-profit organization that will help rescue special needs animals (mainly
dogs, cats, horses, goats and donkeys) from high-kill shelters and other emergency situations. Often,
these animals need time, tenderness, and someone to make them feel safe in order for them to live
out their lives in peace. As is often the case with all animals, special needs animals bring out the best
in people and demonstrate resilience and perseverance to others facing their own challenges.
Cold Noses Sanctuary will be a place where animals are healing, and many will live out their lives
here. Our hope is that we will be find forever homes for some of these animals through interactions
with the public. Adoptions and fostering are not a regularly occurring part of our program, but we
would expect them to happen occasionally. This is an opportunity for an animal to find their own
forever family and thus open more space for us to help another. We will have adoption and foster
applications, check Veterinary references and keep in close contact with our fosters and adopters
with a “take back” policy if they cannot keep the animal for any reason.
Daily Activities
On a daily basis this will run as a small-scale hobby farms with an onsite care taker, volunteers, and
animals. The activities set forth fall well within the scope of agritourism, as defined by Wisconsin
Department of Agriculture. [1]We will be a working farm, and the education and agritourism will be a
source of revenue generation for our sanctuary. At all times- even at our busiest, tranquility and
calmness will be sought to be maintained for the well-being of our resident animals. We are not a
zoo, and therefore we will neither force nor guarantee animal encounters with the public. Part of our
educational program is to show that these animals are living their lives and deserve to have a say in
their daily interactions. This is ultimately the safest way to interact. The animals will be housed in
secure buildings and have access to fenced yards (dogs), pastures (farm animals), and an enclosed
“catio” for the cats. We adhere to the standards provided by the Association of Shelter Veterinarians
for minimum space requirements.[2] Additionally, we follow protocol for standards for 1 acre per
horse and 1 acre per 1-3 goats and .5 acre per donkey. [3]
The sanctuary will be run daily by the live-in resident. (Lead Sanctuary Manager) There will be a core
group of volunteers as the animal population grows, to help with the care and public outreach. We
Page 83 of 137
will work with several Veterinarians who will come to the farm on a regular schedule to oversee care
processes and diagnose any conditions. Farriers will work with our livestock to ensure hoof health.
Site Development
We will seek zoning approval for the site to include an additional building, parking for drives and
parking, lighting, landscaping and any necessary storm water management that may be required.
The buildings will require sanitary service and thus a new septic system will be developed to meet
the demands.
Bowser’s Bungalow: (New Build)
We will have a building for the dogs with a room for the dogs to each have their own sleeping space.
There will be no more than 12 dogs living in the sanctuary at its largest. Each dog will have a
“bungalow” or room to sleep at night and to separately feed. Their rooms each open up to a larger
living room with couches, fireplace, dog beds, classical music and toys. For most of these dogs, this
is their forever home, and as such, we intend to make this feel like home in every way possible.
These are not kennels. We are not a kennel. In fact, we are often rescuing these animals from
kennels where their survival is not guaranteed and often at extreme risk of euthanasia due to factors
such as their age or a disability. A loud facility would not help these animals in anyway, and therefore
we intend to have a very tranquil environment. The dogs may stay inside or choose to go outside
during the day into the fenced in yard. Any excessive barking is a sign of a need not being met- so
any barking dog will be promptly addressed and tended to. They will have constant opportunity for
enrichment which will also reduce barking levels. Dogs will have no access to outdoors after
bedtime. Essentially, this will be run exactly the same as a home is with a pet-other than potty
breaks, the dogs are in at night. The dogs will not be loose outdoors if there is no one on the
grounds.
Cat Barn: (Existing Structure)
free space for up to 12 cats to live comfortably. Reading nooks and couches for volunteers to
interact, along with a prep sink and storage space. Catio outdoor screened porch for enrichment.
1910 Barn: (Existing Structure)
The current use would be to leave it as is. However, the barn is currently under structural evaluation
with the intent restoring it subject to costs and availability of funds. The intent is to bring it up to
commercial code purposes. The intended use will be to use the lower level (milking stalls) as a three
season play space for the dogs that is covered from the elements. We will level the floor and clean
Page 84 of 137
the area to make it a bright, airy space for the dogs to run. The upper level of the barn will be used
as 3-season event space subject to to modification and approval of the CUP. Picnic lunches, craft
space, yoga etc. could held here. Eventually a space to host a fundraiser and a small area for retail.
Livestock Barn: (Existing Structure)
Renovate this barn to include 5 horse stalls, a wash stall, feed/tack room, and two large, herd stalls
(goats and donkeys). Windows and Dutch doors and run out pasture. This is to be underway, by
Morton Buildings, in the January of 2026. A manure holding area will be built by Morton as well and
hold manure before it is hauled offsite.
Pastures
Several pastures will be placed throughout the fields both on the South and North fields for rotating
the animals on pasture. We will expect to max at approximately 5 horses, 10 goats and 2 donkeys.
Growing Pastures
We expect to have a large field where vegetables will be planted. And many areas of wildflowers and
fruit trees.
Community Outreach
We hope to provide people with all abilities the opportunity to meet and interact with these animals-
many who may have the same “disabilities” as they do. In doing so, they see the strength and
resilience of these animals and find it in themselves. We hope this special place will create an
emotional bond between animals and humans for those suffering from physical illness or disabilities
or non-physical ailments or disabilities such as: PTSD, anxiety, depression, & terminal diseases in an
attempt to provide comfort, reduce stress, and support their emotional and physical well-being.
Educational programs could include class trips to visit the farm or come read to the animals (proven
to help nervous readers and calming for the animals). Class visit sizes would be limited to under 30
and would be split into groups of 10 or less to visit the individual buildings. Groups will provide
chaperones, and we will have at least one staff member with each group. We expect most classes to
Page 85 of 137
be under 25. Depending on the ages and maturity level of the groups, we will allow them to interact
with certain animals in a controlled, calm manner with a staff member present. Craft and activities
held on a weekly basis for regular fundraising will be limited to 15 people per class. Interactions with
the animals are never forced. Animals will have free ability to retreat if they so choose. One of the
important lessons we hope to instill in our visitors, is that this is the animal’s home, and as such, we
must always respect their agency.
The site will be developed to include additional drives and parking along the east side of the 1910
barn on what we anticipate for daily usage and small groups. We would be using the fields outside
the flood zone for parking for the larger events.
Larger fundraisers and educational days would remain small-scale so as not to stress the animals.
We expect the first few years to remain this way with under 50 people at our largest gatherings at
one time. As we grow and have renovated the 1910 barn we hope to grow these events to no more
than 100 people. These would still be on occasion and for mainly outdoor events. If a once-per-year
fundraiser were to be bigger, we would approach the town with such an event plan. The majority of
these fundraisers will be small in nature, craft classes, meet and greets with the animals, tours,
Halloween and/or Christmas days at the farm, movies under the stars, pumpkin picking etc. Some of
these activities (pumpkin picking for example) will be ongoing so there will be people coming and
going throughout the day. Ultimately though, we are a sanctuary for these animals and need to
maintain a healthy balance of fundraising, raising awareness and tranquility on the farm so as to
allow these animals to live out their lives comfortably and with minimal stress.
All of our animals would be rescued, and people could adopt them, or they would live their lives out
on a serene and beautiful farm. My son and I love to grow pumpkins and vegetables and just enjoy
the farm life. Nothing about the farm would be for our financial benefit. Anything sold on the farm
would benefit the non-profit. We want to be part of the community and a safe, calming space in an
otherwise hectic and chaotic world.
Licensing and Requirements
Once we house 4 or more dogs we will apply for the hobby kennel license as is required by city
ordinance. We will require all animals we intake from out of state to be quarantined as per state law.
We will not be required by Wisconsin State law to have any rescue or animal shelter license as we
will not house more than 25 dogs a year. We train our staff and volunteers through emergency
protocols, animal handling techniques, and require various courses to be passed in order for
volunteers to work with the animals as mandated by our insurance policy.
Page 86 of 137
Waste Storage and Disposal
Dog and cat waste is collected daily of via pooper scoopers and litter scoops and disposed of into
trash bags which is collected weekly.
Farm animal waste is shoveled daily and stored in the manure pit (to be built by Morton buildings).
This pile will be collected on a monthly or bimonthly schedule by farmer and hauled off site.
Pastures will be dragged and maintained for healthy growth and grazing following best practices
such as those recommended by University of Massachusetts, and as required by the Wisconsin DNR
SOIL AND WATER RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PROGRAM[4]
Background
I am no stranger to the animal world or the business world. At age 25, I opened and operated a
successful, upscale, doggie daycare and spa for over 60 dogs for 10 years before I had my son. This
building was in VERY close proximity to several homes and businesses in Massachusetts and I was
always able to retain a healthy relationship with our neighbors even with 60 excited dogs playing
outdoors at one time!
As an owner of many special needs animals, I know the time and dedication and funding necessary
to help these animals live to their full potential. I have founded and been acting President of Cold
Noses Foundation since 2010- a global non- profit that funds animal rescues and shelters all over the
world. Cold Noses Sanctuary is its own 501c 3 public charity. We carry non-profit insurance as well
as liability for all of the proposed activities.
Our hope is to pay homage to the farmers that were working this land before us. We intend to create
a general sense of responsibility to the environment and our land and nature with whom we share
this property. Pollinator gardens and fruit trees will line the buildings and surrounding grounds.
Walking trails for volunteers or visitors to enjoy will be marked with conservation- theme markers and
plant and nature identifying signs. It is vital to our sanctuary that we are stewards of the land and we
convey a message of mutual respect and conservation to our donors and visitors.

Comments and Recommendations:
Below are comments and recommendations for the proposed development application for property
located at N47W26699 Lynndale Road (Tax Key No. PWC 0882999001).
1. Will dogs be kept onsite prior to the dog shelter being constructed. If so, where will dogs sleep
and be fed? Yes, but no more than 2-3 rescue dogs. They will be kept in the home/office and
fenced yard.
2. The narrative states that dogs will be kept indoors, except for bathroom breaks, after “bedtime.”
What time is bedtime? Depending on the time of year (longer nights in Summer- so in Summer
bedtime will be around 8pm. In winter probably closer to 7:30 )
3. Where is the “Farm Animal Barn” that is referenced in the narrative? Please ensure that building
names and descriptions in the narrative match the site plan.This is the “Livestock Barn” We will
reference it as such from now on.
4. Are all dogs and cats spayed or neutered? Yes! All animals will be as long as it is medically
safe to do so if they are not before they arrive. Any animals that are not old enough or in poor
health to undergo the procedure will be kept separate. However, this would be the exception.
5. It’s staff’s understanding that events will initially have a capacity of fifty attendees or less. Where
will parking occur for this initial phase? What restroom facilities will be utilized for these events? Will
portable restrooms be located onsite? Will the access, drive or site be improved in any way to better
accommodate this amount of traffic and parking? As far as access- we will have a business/Farm
Sign out front. We are happy to pay for a flashing yellow light or some signage to alert traffic.
People speed down Lynndale coming from East to West. (Much faster than the speed limit)
Restrooms will be brought in in the form of porta-potties until canine facility is built with
bathrooms. Parking will be next to 1910 barn but for larger events, pasture space (not near
flood plain) will be opened to parking overflow.
Staff recommends showing the parking area on the Site Plan for the initial phase of programming
and events, including ADA accessible parking spaces. Staff anticipates a condition limiting the
capacity of events based upon the accommodations provided, such as quantity of parking and
restroom facilities. On a regular basis, capacity will be maybe 3-4 cars (volunteers and staff).
Most events will be small in nature. Maybe 20-30 people at most. Not 20-30 vehicles.
Note that larger events of 150 or more people require a Special Event Permit, and the city requires
events of 50 to 150 people to contact the City Police Services to notify them of the event. This will
Page 92 of 137
apply unless otherwise stated in the Conditional Use Permit. No problem
6. Staff is recommending that the retail use described in the 1910 barn following renovations be
subject to approval of a Conditional Use Amendment unless additional details are provided at this
time.
7. What retail type uses are proposed within the initial phase of the use? Will pumpkins, fruits and
vegetables or any other goods be sold on the farm? By retail we refer to logo items, crafts (pet
paintings, birdhouses, etc.) and some pet items. No food or drink at this time. Pumpkins in
the near future for a roadside stand or a pick- your- own type of sale.
Note that the A-1 District allows for “[o]ne roadside stand for selected farm products produced on the
premises and not exceeding 150 square feet in floor area, the location of which shall be approved by
the Zoning Administrator. (Also see Article 9.)”
Any other retail sales of goods must be included in the conditional use approval.
8. Where is the manure pit located? Please illustrate the location on the site plan. Indicated on East
corner of Livestock Barn.
9. Note that duplex is misspelled on the site plan.Noted
10. This property is accessed by County Road JK. Have you discussed the proposed use and
access with Waukesha County? In progress and we will make any necessary adjustments.
11. Below are anticipated staff recommended conditions. Note that additional conditions may be
added as staff continues to review the project or by the Plan Commission and Common Council.
If you have questions or concerns regarding any of the conditions discussed above or noted below,
please let me know and we can discuss further prior to Plan Commission.

Amendments:
Please review the following amendments to the comments:
“All areas of the site utilized for housing, sheltering, walking or exercising, and generally
caring for animals shall be a minimum of 300 feet from the property boundaries of any
single-family residential use, unless otherwise specifically restricted by this Conditional
Use Permit. ”
We understand this statement not pertaining to the livestock animals and not being
restrained from pasturing up to the 300’ from single family residential property lines;
lot is zoned A1 and we don’t believe A1 is restricted.
We intend to walk dogs on leashes, and I intend on trail riding my personal horse along
the trails in the back which are not far from various residential areasWe want to clarify
this condition. We do not plan on leaving dogs running freely around other residences.
However, we do need to be able to utilize our pasture space (all 14.5 acres) as such
and want to use our walking trails freely.
“Staff recommends that the parking lot and drive expansion shown on the attached site
plan be subject to staff review and approval of a Minor Building & Site Plan Review
Application. Lighting, landscaping, storm water management facilities, and other future
building and site modifications will require staff or Plan Commission review as determined
by the City Planner. ”
We will provide the quantity of parking stalls required per zoning requirements.
“Where is the manure pit located? Please illustrate the location on the site plan. ”

Letter of Support Template - CTH K Grade Crossing Elimination Project.docx
County K Purpose and Need.pdf
Importance: High
Waukesha County is asking for your help in our efforts to secure a $25 million federal
discretionary BUILD grant for the County K Grade Crossing Elimination Project.
The USDOT’s Better Utilizing Investments to Leverage Development (BUILD) Grant
program provides funding for surface transportation projects with significant local or
regional impact. It enables project sponsors to pursue complex, multi-modal, and multi-
jurisdictional projects that are often difficult to finance through traditional grant sources. We
believe the County K Grade Crossing Elimination Project is a strong grant candidate that
will perform well during evaluation and exceed the published grant merit criteria, project
readiness determination, and benefit-cost analysis.
The proposed elimination of the at-grade CN Railroad crossing is part of our larger planned
expansion and modernization of the CTH K (Lisbon Road) corridor between CTH JK
(Lyndale Road) and Brookfield Road. The BUILD grant will help fund the expansion of CTH
K between CTH F (Redford Blvd) and Roberta Drive, the construction of a new highway
bridge over the CN Railroad, highway safety improvements, local road improvements, and
new bike/pedestrian accommodations.
The County K Grade Crossing Elimination Project is the first step in completing the 6-mile
CTH K Corridor expansion and modernization and would be constructed in 2031-32,
subject to a successful BUILD grant application and USDOT awarding Waukesha County
federal funding.
Attached is a Letter of Support Template for you to use. Also attached you’ll find a County
K Purpose and Need document that includes specific project information and statistics that
you can consider for inclusion in your Letter of Support.
Please include information about your organization/business and a description of why the
proposed project is important to you and/or your customers/stakeholders. Personalized
letters of support are the best. Please share how the proposed improvements will directly
improve your personal experience using CTH K and/or share how the proposed changes
will help your business, institution, or community and positively and directly impact and
improve you customer and/or resident experience. Waukesha County will be submitting our
application on February 20
th, so we’d like to have letters returned by February 13th to allow
us to include them in our application response to USDOT.
If you would like to learn more about the proposed project or have questions about the
BUILD Grant Letter of Support, please let Allison, Sarah or I know, and we will follow up
with additional information.
Thank you for your help and support towards making this important and transformational
Page 133 of 137
project a reality.

COUNTY K GRADE CROSSING ELIMINATION PROJECT PURPOSE AND NEED,
INFORMATION AND STATISTICS
Project Purpose and Need:
The purpose of a grade separation between County K and the CN railroad stems from a comprehensive
evaluation of safety, traffic operations, and regional planning considerations. The key reasons for
justifying grade separation are as follows:
Enhanced Public Safety: The primary impetus is to eliminate the existing at-grade conflict point
between County K traffic and trains, thereby enhancing public safety. From 2020 to 2024, there were 17
crashes near the railroad crossing and the Duplainville Road intersection, with 11 of these being rear-end
crashes, likely due to traffic slowing or stopping near the crossing. Grade separation provides the next
safest crossing after outright closure.
High Exposure Factor: The existing at-grade crossing has a high "exposure factor", which is calculated
by multiplying the number of trains per day by the number of highway vehicles per day. A higher exposure
value indicates greater potential for crashes and other safety issues.
Reduced Motorist Delays: The grade separation aims to reduce motorist delays caused by trains
occupying the crossing. The CN railroad operates an average of 34 trains per day through the crossing,
with speeds typically between 30 and 50 mph, capable of reaching 60 mph. Delays impact traffic flow
and can lead to queues.
Improved Emergency Vehicle Response Times: Eliminating the at-grade crossing will directly improve
response times for emergency vehicles. Law enforcement has identified an overpass at County K as a
high priority for improvements.
County Roadway System Resilience: Currently between I-94 and the north county line there are 10 at
grade crossings (including 5 county highways) and only one grade separated crossing (at WIS 190) at a
distance of 10.4 miles along the railroad. With the heavy mainline rail traffic on this line, having
redundant east-west connections over the rail, and therefore not subject to delays by rail traffic, will
provide resiliency to the roadway system as a whole. These connections offer opportunities for traffic to
redirect and rebalance if there are blockages related to construction activities, crashes, or other
incidents.
Sight Distance & Duplainville Road Operations: Sight distance problems exist at the Duplainville Road
intersection, which is located approximately 200 feet west of the CN crossing. This makes it difficult for
drivers to see both directions of travel along County K. Westbound left-turn queues on County K can
back up to the railroad tracks, indicating an impact on the corridor's capacity. Additionally, when longer
queues develop during a rail crossing, the westbound to southbound movement on Duplainville Rd
results in further delays as westbound traffic navigates past the left turn movement which must wait for
the eastbound traffic and queue to clear.
Regional and Local Planning Alignment: The Village of Sussex 2040 Comprehensive Plan specifically
identifies grade separation on County K at the CN Railroad as a key consideration for ensuring east/west
Page 135 of 137
access at all times. Waukesha County's study also takes into account future land use planning and
multimodal needs.
VISION 2050: A Regional Land Use and Transportation Plan for Southeastern Wisconsin: The year
2050 regional land use and transportation plan, being a part of the master plan for the physical
development of the Region and set forth in SEWRPC Planning Report No. 55, includes the planned
widening of CTH K (Lisbon Road) from two to four lanes between CTH JK (Lyndale Road) and Brookfield
Road.
Operational Improvements for CN: Currently Weyer Road crosses the Duplainville Siding
approximately 10,900 feet north of the south clearance point. This means that a train with the desirable
length of 12,000 feet will block the crossing when waiting for an opposing train to pass.
Project Information and Statistics:
Pavement Age and Condition: The existing pavement along CTH K (Lisbon Road) was originally built in
1961 and has exceeded its useful and expected life, resulting in poor conditions and reduced roadway
reliability. Addressing pavement deterioration is necessary to ensure safe and efficient travel for users.
Safety Concerns: The CTH K (Lisbon Road) Corridor has a segment crash rate of 285.34 from 2020 to
2024, which is more than three times the statewide average. The fatal and serious injury (KAB) crash rate
is 57.7, also three times higher than the statewide average. Within the proposed project area, there were
38 serious injury crashes and one fatality over the same five-year period. These safety issues show the
need for improvements to reduce risk and enhance traveler safety.
Traffic Delays and Operational Issues: The at-grade Canadian National Railroad crossing on CTH K
(Lisbon Road) causes significant traffic delays, with approximately 34 trains crossing daily. In 2025, total
daily vehicle delays range from 41 to 63 hours, equating to 0.21 to 0.32 minutes per vehicle. By 2055,
delays are projected to increase to between 74 and 160 hours daily, or 0.30 to 0.64 minutes per vehicle,
as traffic and train volumes grow. These delays interfere with mobility and contribute to economic losses
for residents and businesses.
Economic Impact of User Delay: The overall effects of pavement deterioration, safety concerns, and
traffic delays create economic problems. Vehicle operation and delay costs are estimated to range from
$566,000 to $872,000 annually in 2025, increasing to $2.5 million to $5.4 million by 2055. Over a 30-year
period, user delay costs are projected to total over $75 million. Investing in grade separation and
infrastructure improvements will provide long-term benefits including improved safety and enhanced
regional connectivity.
Project Cost: The 0.7-mile project will expand highway capacity, improve safety, improve traffic flow,
reduce travel delays, improve bike/pedestrian opportunities and construct a new vehicle-freight rail
overpass. The project is estimated to cost $38.9 million.

Dear Secretary Duffy:
We are pleased to support Waukesha County’s application to the Better Utilizing Investments to Leverage
Development (BUILD) Grant Program for the County K Grade Crossing Elimination Project. This project is
essential for improving the connection of County K over the Canadian National (CN) Railroad and ensuring that
this important corridor continues to serve our region and Wisconsin’s transportation needs. Completion of the
project would significantly enhance safety, alleviate traffic congestion, improve emergency vehicle response
times, and boost mobility and operations along County K.
The City of Pewaukee’s northern boundary is approximately 0.5 miles south of County K. The Weyer Road
crossing is within the City of Pewaukee limits and is shared with the Village of Lisbon.
The City of Pewaukee supports Waukesha County’s pursuit of the grade crossing elimination to improve safety
at nearby intersections, eliminating the delays caused by the grade crossing, enhancing connectivity
throughout the corridor, providing alternative modes of transportation with the bike and pedestrian
improvements, and increased heavy truck traffic flow and safety. The grade crossing elimination will also
improve public safety and emergency response time which is critical with the recent fire contract between the
City of Pewaukee and Village of Lisbon. This project will also support local economic development plans in our
adjacent communities and boost the economy throughout this region.
Thank you in advance for giving Waukesha County’s BUILD grant application your thorough consideration. We
strongly believe that the County K Grade Crossing Elimination Project will have a transformative impact on our
region and look forward to your favorable response.
Sincerely,
Steve Bierce
Mayor
City of Pewaukee
