The Village of Waukesha Board of Review convened on September 11, 2025, to address several key agenda items, beginning with a roll call and the approval of minutes from the previous meeting held in May. The board members present included Stigler, Niles, Adams, and Buckholtz, who unanimously approved the minutes without any objections.

Due to the absence of the designated chair and vice chair, the board appointed Chad Niles as the temporary chair for the evening. This motion was seconded and passed with a majority vote, allowing the meeting to proceed smoothly.

The board confirmed that all necessary notices regarding the Board of Review and open meetings were posted correctly and in a timely manner. Additionally, they verified compliance with state law regarding the confidentiality of income and expense information provided to the assessor.

A significant update discussed was the recent removal of personal property tax by the state of Wisconsin, which is no longer under the purview of the Board of Review. This change marks a notable shift in local tax regulations.

The meeting also featured a presentation by Sam Monroe, the village assessor, who provided an overview of the annual assessment report. Monroe noted that this year involved an interim market update, with the estimated level of assessment at 100%. He highlighted that the village has been in a maintenance year for several consecutive years, and the notice of changed assessment was mailed out on August 18, 2025.

The meeting concluded with the board's acknowledgment of the assessor's report and the procedural updates, ensuring that the village remains compliant with state regulations and prepared for future assessments.
