Pewaukee council to draft resolution urging state to reconsider levy limits
Summary
Council members directed staff to prepare a resolution opposing Wisconsin levy limits and advocating for local fiscal flexibility amid rising costs, to be returned for formal approval.
Council members told staff April 7 to draft a resolution urging the state to revisit levy limits that restrict municipal property-tax increases. The request follows council discussion noting that, despite some increases in state revenue sharing, many communities face rising costs that exceed allowable levy growth.
Council members said they supported preparing a resolution in coordination with the League of Wisconsin Municipalities and bringing the drafted text back for the council's approval. The mayor and multiple council members said the levy-limit structure makes long-term local budgeting difficult for core services.
Staff said they would prepare a draft resolution and return it to the council for formal adoption. No formal vote was required at the meeting to initiate the drafting process.
