Big Muskego Lake District adopts 2026 budget after public hearing; audit results reviewed
Summary
The Big Muskego Lake District approved a 2026 budget that projects $40,002.75 in revenues and $44,008.71 in expenses, and reviewed its 2024 audit showing a decreased fund balance tied to a land purchase.
The Big Muskego Lake District on Aug. 26 adopted a proposed 2026 budget after a public hearing and reviewed its 2024 audit results.
District staff presented the budget and audit during the annual meeting. The district’s 2026 proposed revenues total $40,002.75 and proposed expenses total $44,008.71, a drop of roughly 30 percent from the prior year driven primarily by removal of an all-terrain vehicle purchase line item. Staff reported projected fund balances of $118,024, including a $45,000 designated land reserve. The 2024 audit showed a total fund balance of $169,307, a decrease of $36,006.64 from the prior year attributed to a land purchase in 2024.
At the close of the public hearing, a district member moved to adopt the 2026 budget. The motion was seconded and passed unanimously. The meeting record shows no public speakers registering concerns during the hearing. Minutes from the July 23, 2024 annual meeting were approved earlier in the session by voice vote.
The district’s presenter noted that fees proposed for 2026 would remain unchanged and that fund balances remain positive despite the reduced revenue estimate. No additional budget amendments were proposed at the meeting.
The district will maintain the designated land reserve of $45,000. Staff did not provide further detail on whether the district will pursue additional revenue sources or program changes tied to the lower revenue projection.
The meeting notice states the hearing was noticed in accordance with the open meeting law on Aug. 22, 2025.
