At a glance: Oconomowoc council approves budget amendments, plats and multiple annexations Feb. 18
Summary
At its Feb. 18 meeting the Common Council approved year‑end budget amendments and donations, a condominium plat correction at Market Square, and a set of annexation ordinances bringing several parcels into the city. Most items passed unanimously.
The City of Oconomowoc Common Council on Feb. 18 approved a series of routine and housekeeping items including year‑end budget amendments, a condominium plat correction at Market Square and multiple annexation ordinances.
Highlights (votes summarized):
- Budget amendments — approved (requires two‑thirds vote). City finance staff presented 11 fourth‑quarter budget amendments including allocation of donations ($783,731 noted, largely for Rockwell Park), transfers to cover fleet overages, final allocations of ARPA funds and fiscal year housekeeping transfers. Council approved the set of amendments by roll call (unanimous vote reported during meeting).
- Condominium plat (Market Square, Unit 7) — approved. Staff described the action as an after‑the‑fact approval of Unit 7 in the Market Square/Valley Road Commons commercial plat. Plan commission recommended approval and council approved to clear title and allow future building permits.
- Annexations — approved. The council approved a package of annexation ordinances bringing several parcels into the city with temporary zoning assignments (examples: Cedar Home Farms on County Trunk K as Urban Reserve; Woodsview Preserve as Urban Reserve; Driscoll properties as General Commercial; multiple small parcels on Lisbon Road with appropriate temporary zoning). Each annexation was considered and approved by roll call at the meeting.
Individual ordinance and action references included in the meeting record: the council approved Ordinance 25‑01075 (zoning text amendment) and multiple annexation ordinances (Cedar Home Farm lands, Driscoll & Catron properties, Woodsview Preserve LLC, Hallet lands, Slife parcel, Krenz parcel, Danan & Sampson parcels, BSMP lands, and others listed on the meeting agenda). The condominium plat for Market Square Unit 7 also received council approval.
Most votes on the budget amendments, plat and annexations were unanimous. The council’s routine consent agenda and committee reports proceeded without extended debate; staff noted the next steps required for recordkeeping and recording at the county courthouse where applicable. Council members and staff directed follow‑up on a small number of technical items (e.g., transfers of interest revenue to 2025 capital projects, closing ARPA grants and transferring reserve donation funds to maintenance accounts).
For the record, the meeting also contained two related public hearings: the zoning text amendment (Section 17.408), which the council unanimously approved, and the conditional‑use permit for Mont Bijou at 351 East Lisbon Road, which the council approved 6–2 (see separate coverage).
