Roll Call Update on the status of the OLD BUSINESS: 4. *** The City Council of City of Oconto Falls will conduct a public hearing regarding its 2026 CITY BUDGET **** A. Review the proposed 2026 City Budget The General Fund Revenues is up 3.9%, General Fund Expenses is up 3.9% Debt Services is down 100% due to Columbia Street finished and not having any big projects for the 2026 year. The TIF revenue is up due to getting revenue for 2026 where in the year 2025 there was no revenue. Levy is up 6.1% none of the levy is coming from fund balance. There currently is no sidewalk replacement in the budget for 2026 and WI DNR Forestry Grant that was previously proposed in the budget has now been removed due to the City of Oconto Falls was denied this grant. The budget is doing ok at this time with no personnel and or services have been cut. The city has applied for LRIP for Wisconsin Street for in 2027 and Paul Street later. Concerns and questions that were brought up; • Line 437 of budget went form five thousand dollars to thirteen thousand dollars for garage and machine shed expenses. What is this for? This was Common Council Public Hearing December 1,2025 2 a miscommunication and can be dropped down to five thousand dollars. Leaving a positive of eight thousand dollars. • Line 440 of budget went from $24,000 to $42,194 why? This is for machine maintenance. One of the loaders, plow and dump truck need new tires. The loader tire alone are ten thousand five hundred dollars. • Line 450 of the budget went from $36,000 to $44,000? This is for the contract of the salt which is eighty-six dollars and thirty-seven cents per ton purchased from the state. Contracted for four hundred tons guaranteed plus eighty ton in reserve. The brine is two thousand two hundred dollars purchased from the county. • Line 594 Seven hundred- and fifty-dollars Park and Recreation FICA are for if there were lifeguards and supervisor. Since there will be no lifeguards at the beach then this can be utilized elsewhere. • With the money being an error for lines 437 machine shed and garage expenses was an error. That is a total of eight thousand seven hundred and fifty dollars. Five thousand of that should be placed in budget for city wide sidewalk repair and three thousand seven hundred and fifty dollars is to go towards snow/ ice removal expenses for brine storage. • Fire Chief Magnin brought to the councils Fire Department computers are too old and cannot be updated. This will cost an estimate of six thousand one hundred dollars for five new computers and two docking stations. The fire department had to borrow a hose due to ours broke. The pressure release valve on the 1995 truck isn’t working and dose not pass the safety test. This could cost close to one hundred thousand to fix. B.
