Muskego Finance Committee approves county tax-assessment agreement, Sobex outside-dance permit and vouchers; Hawes contract continued
Summary
At its Oct. 14 meeting the Muskego City Finance Committee approved an agreement with Waukesha County for tax-assessment services, a one-day outside-dance permit for Sobex Bar and several voucher and payroll wire transactions. Renewal of a small Hawes contract was discussed and continued; no committee action was taken on that item.
The Muskego City Finance Committee on Oct. 14 approved an agreement with Waukesha County to provide data processing services, property tax assessment and billing for the city; granted an outside-dance permit to Sobex Bar LLC for Nov. 1; and approved multiple voucher and payroll wire transfers. The committee discussed renewing a small contract with Hawes but decided not to act at the meeting.
The committee approved the resolution authorizing the agreement with Waukesha County by voice vote after a motion and second; there was no substantive discussion recorded on the item. The resolution covers data processing, property tax assessment and billing services for Muskego City (referred to in the meeting record as the city of Muskegon). The motion carried on an aye vote.
Committee members considered renewal of the Hawes contract, which staff described as a small contract (approximately $3,800). Staff said the contract had been examined as a potential area for savings but, after further review, identified it as a necessary service; committee members were told no action was required that night and the item was continued for later consideration.
The panel granted an outside-dance permit to Sobex Bar LLC (doing business as Sobex) at the premises listed in the record as South 79 West 16419 Woods Road for Nov. 1, 2025, from 2 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. for a live band. The motion to approve was moved, seconded and approved by voice vote with no recorded opposition.
The committee approved utility vouchers in the amount of $112,216.77 by voice vote. It also approved a motion recorded as approving general fund vouchers; the meeting record contains an inconsistent cents figure for that motion (the transcript reports “$1,070,000.686 dollars and 53¢”), and the precise cent amount was not clear in the record. The committee approved wire transfers for payroll invoice transmittals in the amount of $419,950.71 by voice vote.
There was no finance director's report at the meeting. The committee adjourned at 6:07 p.m.
Meeting procedure and notice: committee members took the roll, confirmed a quorum and noted the meeting had been noticed in accordance with the open meeting law on Oct. 10, 2025.
