Golf operations remain self-supporting; budget conservative, Brindale storage project awarded
Summary
Kenosha County’s Golf enterprise budget was approved; staff said golf remains self-supporting and that capital projects will be funded from the enterprise fund. A storage building at Brindale was awarded and construction will carry into 2026.
Kenosha County approved the Golf 2026 enterprise budget, with staff characterizing the division as self-supporting and conservative in its revenue assumptions.
Staff said the 2026 golf operating budget is conservatively set at $4.4 million, while current-year projections anticipate finishing around $5.3 million; the difference will be carried as reserves to fund capital improvements. Staff also added an overtime line for hourly employees and noted increases in temporary staffing and supplies based on expanded program use.
Capital projects: Staff said the Brindale storage building bid has been awarded and construction will be phased over winter and into spring 2026; a maintenance facility design is planned with construction expected to begin in 2027. All golf capital projects are proprietary-funded and will not draw levy dollars.
Why it matters: The enterprise’s ability to fund capital work from reserves reduces levy impact while ensuring maintenance and facility improvements proceed.
Committee action: Golf budget approved by voice vote.
