Finance committee adopts fee updates, then approves $1.9 million in vouchers and payroll transfers

Muskego City’s finance committee on Dec. 2 approved updates to the city’s master fee schedule for the Public Works and Development Department and approved voucher and payroll requests totaling roughly $1.9 million.

On the fee updates, staff said the resolution adds two new fees — an overtime fee for patrol employees and a storm-sewer cleanout fee — and also adds several items to the consolidated master fee sheet that had not previously been included. Staff said the master sheet is required by state statute. Committee members asked whether the highlighted items were increases or additions; staff clarified that the two identified items are brand new fees and that several other entries were moved into the master sheet without rate changes.

The committee moved, seconded and approved the fees resolution by voice vote.

The committee then approved utility vouchers in the amount of $551,350.05, general fund vouchers in the amount of $786,048.39, and payroll-related wire transfers totaling $570,157.57. Each motion was moved, seconded and approved by voice vote; the transcript records the approvals but does not provide individual roll-call tallies.

Other business: the committee approved minutes from the Nov. 11 finance committee meeting earlier in the session and the finance director reported there was no report for this meeting. The committee adjourned at 6:53 PM.

Next steps: staff will implement the fee updates as recorded and process approved vouchers and transfers; no further scheduling or public hearings were recorded on the fee changes in this meeting.
