Village moves auction proceeds into 2025 budget, approves $1.15 million payment for paving
Summary
The Village of Waukesha approved transferring roughly $22,300 in recent auction proceeds into the 2025 budget for fire and public works equipment and authorized payment of $1,149,073.47 in accounts payable, largely to cover a one-time paving project payment; the amendment passed on roll-call and the payment was approved by voice vote.
The Village of Waukesha voted to move surplus-auction proceeds into its 2025 operating budget and approved an accounts-payable batch totaling $1,149,073.47, a large, one-time payment tied mainly to a paving contract.
At the meeting Speaker 3 proposed a budget amendment to transfer funds from a recent surplus auction into the 2025 budget to purchase updated vehicle tablets for emergency vehicles and to cover public-works needs. The packet and initial statement referenced $22,334 in auction proceeds; during discussion the numerical readback briefly differed (one speaker read $22,234), a clerical discrepancy noted on the record. Speaker 3 moved the amendment and the board approved it by roll-call: Stigler, White, Niles, Adams and Regalts were each recorded as voting "aye." The motion directs the funds to be split between the fire department and public works as described in the packet.
Speaker 3 also summarized the broader tax context, saying the reassessment decreased the mill rate by about "35 ish cents per thousand," and noted that the accounts-payable total of $1,149,073.47 was unusually large this month because the paving project required a single lump‑sum payment rather than installment payments used previously.
Speaker 1 moved to pay the bills totaling $1,149,073.47; the board approved the payment by voice vote. The transcript does not contain a recorded roll-call for that payment. No further conditions or amendments were attached to the payments; staff will process the invoices per normal procedures.
(Reporting based solely on statements recorded in the meeting transcript. The transcript contained a small numeric discrepancy on the auction total; the packet listed $22,334 and one speaker read $22,234 during discussion.)
