Executive Committee approves stormwater grant application, CIP remodeling transfer and annual carryovers
Summary
The committee unanimously approved a 50% cost-share grant application to address stormwater runoff tied to the county's MS4 requirements, a CIP transfer to support ongoing remodeling and security upgrades, and the routine 2025 carryover resolution covering NGH and Brownfields funds.
The Washington County Executive Committee approved three funding items: a grant application for urban nonpoint source and stormwater work tied to the county's MS4 permit, a transfer of leftover UWMWC electrical-update funds into the master remodeling project (including contingency for card-access and other items), and the county's routine 2025 carryover requests.
Jamie, who identified herself as the department presenter for the stormwater item, said the county maintains its MS4 permit and has budgeted projects to reduce polluted stormwater runoff. "So this project, 50% cost share, was included in the capital improvement program for '27 and 2028," Jamie said, and added the projects cover five storm drain systems that outlet into the Milwaukee River. She said the grant is competitive but that "it is likely that we would obtain the grant." The committee moved and passed Resolution 6 unanimously.
On the remodeling transfer (Resolution 8), Scott explained that prior estimates did not account for updated technology and security costs and that the request includes contingency funds for later phases. He cited about $100,000 in change orders from the first phase and proposed $200,000 in contingency (split across second and third phases). Committee members asked about card‑reader compatibility; staff said most cards will work but a handful of older cards will need replacement.
Aaron presented the annual 2025 carryover resolution and said most of the dollars in the exhibit are attributable to the county's NGH (next‑generation housing) and Brownfields programs, along with active grants and donation accounts carried forward. The committee approved the carryover resolution and adjourned; the next meeting was set for Wednesday, May 20, 2026, at 4 p.m.
All three items were approved by voice vote; the transcript records unanimous passage but does not provide individual roll-call tallies.
