The presentation reviewed revenue expectations, program growth and planned capital spending, and noted staff will present an updated operational budget to the village board in October to meet direction to reduce the general fund impact.

Why it matters: the budget defines staffing, program and event capacity for 2026 and guides decisions on splash-pad upgrades, dog-park construction and 4K programming.

Staff emphasized partnerships that support programs through volunteers, monetary and in-kind contributions and said those relationships add value beyond direct revenue. The director said the department expects higher revenue from special events overall even though the number of beer gardens will drop from three to one; the department plans to add more “music in the park” events and other new activities.

On early childhood programming, staff said the wrap-care program started this year with 10 participants and that the department now runs both morning and afternoon 4K sessions, increasing student count and related revenue. The presentation noted that building and shelter rental demand — particularly for a newly opened auditorium — is expected to rise and add rental revenue.

Staff identified expense increases tied to staffing (raises and additional staffing for 4K and wrap-care), higher special-events costs and increased utility/maintenance costs from heating two additional wings of the expanded community center. The director said staff currently plan to spread some splash-pad upgrade costs over multiple years and to complete at least an initial phase of that project in 2026.

Commissioners pressed staff on several line items. When asked whether the $15,000 special-events projection related only to concerts, staff said the figure reflects a reconfigured mix of fewer beer gardens and more frequent music-in-the-park events. Staff also acknowledged the department expects to use less hotel-motel funding than in prior years and that approximately $13,000 of special-event costs will likely be moved into the Parks and Rec operational budget unless additional sponsorships are secured.

Staff said the operational budget as presented to the village board earlier will be revised and returned to the commission in October with further adjustments to reach the village board’s general fund target.

Ending: commissioners voted to put the presentation on file; staff will deliver the revised operational budget to the village board in October.","Staff presented the Parks and Recreation operational budget draft for 2026, citing new revenues from special events and rentals, increased 4K and wrap-care activity, higher expenses from added event programming and facility heating, and continued efforts to reduce general fund impact ahead of village board approval.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6463466,"Parks and Rec director: community center expansion finished, HVAC warranty work ongoing; dog park permit expected soon",398,751000,1149000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5785509-a99be6d33d364c4772985641c0be8b0a&start=751&end=1149","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5785509-a99be6d33d364c4772985641c0be8b0a/thumbnail_751000.jpg","/articles/6463466/Village-of-Jackson/Washington-County/Wisconsin/Parks-and-Rec-director-community-center-expansion-finished-HVAC-warranty-work-ongoing-dog-park-permit-expected-soon","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6463466-581e66c71095f0cdf41d7aede145eae1/orig.mp4?Expires=1776502091&Signature=EOl~ex7cwZmINzYxZ38XtA1BLF7tE1ttDNJ9bjiNMKX4E1JV1-j3FG77Zu5DkH4l7uJSUP8mpYzwlZugkNkAdEJP7pUtVyJ-vYGdXUUBvjB5QCCYeMUhjcsZyVYI2zeSzcPLzIIfar6CJFDkKbNjbRmqCYeqSLVjtUucs25Gd1c-MfQlJBrLzJrhowvDQzRZMqzx7t9YGC4V49Z83INK8M3jb~JrC0N2dF8k4XY32lkpU2C45xZT2bXvTXPNpWfA5lEVlYzt5rsV7H0mMkHt4w~AmdwziQcR~NJm7FzE-ZpVk0cCNSl1buJfVdUWrfDbJ4Q7En9cDlX0y4aRdeS81g__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Village of Jackson Parks and Recreation Commission on Sept. 16 heard an update from staff that the Jackson Community Center expansion contract with Moore Construction is complete, though warranty work remains to address humidity and a misinstalled door lock.

The update came during the commission’s regular meeting as staff reviewed summer revenues, new programs and capital projects. The director said the expansion contract’s final pay request was approved by the village board and Moore Construction is working through warranty items such as humidity in parts of the building and a door lock in the early childhood wing.

Why it matters: the expansion creates new rental and program space that staff expect to increase future revenue, but outstanding HVAC and door issues must be resolved to deliver full functionality.

Staff said the expansion includes a mix of new and existing HVAC equipment and that some areas have shown higher-than-expected humidity. “We’ve started testing communicating thermostats on one wing,” the Parks and Recreation Director said, “and if that fixes the problem, we’ll roll it out and finish the rest.” The director also told commissioners Moore has been responsive and that remaining items are being handled as warranty work.

Commissioners asked whether punch-list items remain; staff said the security gate keying and the door lock reinstallation are short-term items while the humidity concerns are being addressed through HVAC tuning and thermostat changes. The director estimated “about 18 total units” for the building, with “12 or 14” of them newly installed, and identified the humidity fixes as warranty work rather than unfinished construction.

Staff also reported program and revenue highlights: beer gardens generated just under $10,000 this season; a visiting circus drew a little over $2,000; a new wrap-care program for 4-year-old kindergarten students launched with 10 participants; and an early-learning program resumed with the first day of school. The director said some program revenue timing and construction-related room consolidations have depressed reported revenues for the month but are expected to normalize as renters and programs resume regular use of the facility.

A proposed vending-machine contract with a local operator would supply and maintain a snack machine for the community center; the village would receive 3% of sales under the arrangement. Staff said the vendor would handle stocking, maintenance and capital costs.

On parks planning, staff said the community needs survey for the recreation and open-space plan drew just under 200 responses. The five-year plan expires at year-end; staff anticipate a draft by the end of the year and formal consideration in 2026.

Cedar Run Dog Park construction is contingent on a wetlands permit. Staff told the commission they have received authorization from the Department of the Navy on the wetlands permit and that MSA expects that step was one of the final administrative approvals before the state Department of Natural Resources acts; staff said they anticipate the permit to be approved soon and then will schedule a preconstruction meeting and set a construction timeline.

The director closed by noting a small list of remaining furniture and storage items not included in the construction contract and said those needs will be addressed as the project wraps up.

Ending: commissioners did not take a formal vote on any of the project items during the discussion; staff said they will return with updates as warranty work is completed and as permitting for Cedar Run advances.","At a Village of Jackson Park and Recreation Commission meeting, staff reported completion of the community center expansion contract with pending warranty work on HVAC and doors, new programs and revenue streams, and a wetlands permit advance for the Cedar Run dog park pending final DNR approval.","actionData","errors"]
