Fire department representatives told the committee that one of three furnaces at the fire bay is not operating and that plumbing and water-heater work were included in the maintenance line after city capital-improvement guidance suggested moving items under $10,000 into the regular budget. The department said it would seek multiple quotes for furnace replacement and expected to absorb some costs in the operating budget.

The department also reported a drainage project was to start the following day; staff said they would know by the end of the week whether the work required more extensive measures. The committee was told the department had secured training-budget dollars to cover education and potential schooling for new members and that the department leadership has drafted a training plan covering the coming years.

Public works staff said the salt line was increased to $150,000 in the recommended budget and that parts maintenance for parks had been decreased from $62,000 to $55,000. One committee member proposed reducing the salt estimate to $120,000–$130,000 and restoring parts back to $62,000; staff cautioned that lowering the salt figure on the transportation-aid form could affect the city’s reported needs to the state and recommended leaving the number conservative and transferring any surplus later if needed.

Staff provided a unit price for rock salt of $90.45 per ton and said last year’s salt bill was roughly $89,000. They also reported an on-hand inventory (staff said “1,050 pounds in there,” recorded in the transcript) and noted past state arrangements when the state agreed to take unused salt after a mild winter.

Alderperson Ken Olsen seconded the motion to approve the public works budget; the roll-call vote recorded ayes from Alderperson Smith, Alderperson Olsen, Alderperson Newman, Alderperson Leithner and Alderperson Baker. The motion carried.

Staff added a note on the budget that would allow transfers later in the year if salt or parts needs differ from the adopted figures.","The City of Deafell Finance Committee approved the recommended 2026 public works budget after discussion about salt procurement, parts maintenance funding and transportation-aid reporting.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},5972744,"Finance committee approves recommended recreation and center budgets with conditions",715,173000,888000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5869986-6bf89d5950b8837948ecd1e5094d75f3&start=173&end=888","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5869986-6bf89d5950b8837948ecd1e5094d75f3/thumbnail_173000.jpg","/articles/5972744/Mayville/Dodge-County/Wisconsin/Finance-committee-approves-recommended-recreation-and-center-budgets-with-conditions","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/5972744-39d1df6e85299bc3e1644e9ba96c231a/orig.mp4?Expires=1775898040&Signature=GWt9bP37WMT9qAfTThxAqis~cJXsXHc2dt3W-qcgXJERIqzuWM9CkSzo4-McAe6QP2jTbyKdIkKawR29vF0h~dzsevN0czIkz-fOQ5Cu5hyUFiH0Hfax9tW6hDC6pXRUtomczG9ydvId7jW7m~yjpWBRZoBZ1bCJxa1r9B1hBg~We5RdcMi16exjYDUNvdzI5WGeNbdS-o5POMPqWMf0JRb5mzMK4sM7u0OQoA0X0ZgkS9orlv52rs-LTKhUeTfUItTMnxIlYWhXUbvumrrJ-8zNbVKyt9pQf~zQU4iaRsFwa7b~lSIDsGNdcW3uB5qgxAJnTWZ0dZ3Yby6hw9wi3A__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The City of Deafell Finance Committee approved the mayor’s recommended 2026 budgets for the recreation program and the city center on Sept. 29, while directing staff to flag one $10,000 item for follow-up and to mark depreciation as informational.

Committee members debated whether to include depreciation in the operating budget after staff said that with depreciation included the center’s budget showed a larger deficit. “Currently, we’re standing at a negative $41,035 for our general fund. 41. $41,035,” a finance staff member said during the meeting. The staff member said removing depreciation would change the center’s result: “If you take it out, the take center has a positive balance of 51,824.”

Committee members discussed options for displaying depreciation. One alderperson recommended showing depreciation as a bottom-line informational line with an asterisk so the council would see the noncash amount without treating it as an operating expense; another member asked that the $10,000 the mayor referenced remain on the “parking lot” for further clarification. The committee also discussed the recreation program’s staffing and revenue projections, including a roughly $50,000 amount that staff said the general fund currently pays toward the recreation director’s wages.

Staff explained membership-revenue shifts tied to benefit programs: SilverSneakers reimbursements have largely moved to Optum Fitness, which appears as higher revenue in a different line item. On lifeguard staffing, staff said the city had been out of compliance in the past but believes the department can absorb required changes this year without a large budget increase; the committee heard that pool hours could be modestly shortened if needed.

The motion to approve the recommended budget for the center and recreation, subject to the $10,000 parking-lot item and with depreciation marked by an informational asterisk, was made by Alderperson Smith and seconded by Alderperson Baker. The roll-call vote recorded ayes from Alderperson Smith, Alderperson Baker, Alderperson Liegno, Alderperson Newman and Alderperson Olsen. The motion carried.

The committee placed a separate follow-up item on the parking lot to decide whether recreation wages should remain in the general fund or be moved to a different fund and directed staff to show depreciation as informational on the budget documents going to the council.","The City of Deafell Finance Committee approved the mayor’s recommended 2026 budgets for the recreation program and the city center, but asked staff to mark depreciation as informational and to leave a $10,000 item on the parking lot for later action.","actionData","errors"]
