The Waukesha Water Utility Commission held a special meeting on September 8, 2025, primarily to discuss the employment status of the general manager position. The meeting began with a roll call confirming a quorum, followed by an announcement of a closed session to evaluate the general manager's employment, promotion, compensation, and performance.

After a motion and a roll call vote, the commission entered closed session to deliberate on these matters. Upon reconvening in open session, the commission directed the leadership team to reach out to Dan Dukniak regarding the possibility of him returning as the interim general manager for up to 60% of his time. This step is contingent on Dukniak's interest, after which discussions about compensation and conditions would follow.

The meeting concluded without further items for discussion, and the commission adjourned. This meeting marks a significant step in addressing leadership within the Waukesha Water Utility, highlighting the commission's proactive approach to ensuring effective management.
