Finance committee approves fourth Walk of Lights display and related installation contract
Summary
The committee approved the fourth annual Walk of Lights holiday display, funded entirely through donations held in a special revenue fund, and approved a field-services contract for professional installation of larger display items.
The Waukesha City Finance Committee unanimously approved the 2025 Walk of Lights holiday display and a separate contract for professional field services to install larger display elements, a city staff member said.
Rebecca Peterson, communications and engagement manager, told the committee the event will be the fourth year of the Walk of Lights. “This year, it's fully fundraised,” Peterson said. “We do lease a few items and purchase a few items just so that there's some change in the items every year.” She said the program is paid from a special revenue fund.
Peterson also described the field-services contract: “Some of the lights are professionally installed, just due to our crew's abilities and timing and around the holidays, this allows our crew… to be professionally installed,” she said. The committee reviewed the display item (agenda item 5a) and then a contract for field services (agenda item 5b).
Alderman Lemke moved to approve the Walk of Lights display; the motion was seconded and passed by voice vote. Alderson Molson moved to approve the field-services contract with “Stolen Lights” as presented; that motion also passed by voice vote.
Committee members did not record a roll-call tally in the transcript. City staff said both the display and the installation contract are fully fundraised; the city pays for the work from the special revenue fund identified for the lights.
