Sheboygan committee approves routine measures including union contract and event MOU; tax-liens and parking assessments filed
Summary
The Finance & Personnel Committee approved a set of routine items: a senior-services travel policy, the county tax-lien foreclosure list (2022) for filing, annual parking-assessment district renewals, a memorandum with a motorsports promoter for 2026–27 events, updates to the police department table of organization and a three-year transit-union contract. The committee also approved moving forward with an interlocal assessing-services agreement with Plymouth.
At a regularly scheduled meeting, the Sheboygan City Finance & Personnel Committee approved a series of routine and administrative measures.
The committee accepted and filed the county petition and list of 2022 tax liens filed by the county as part of foreclosure proceedings and approved the annual assessments for parking-assessment districts 1, 2, 4 and 5.
The committee approved Resolution No. 189 adopting the Uptown Social senior-services travel host and companion policy; staff explained that the policy formalizes long-standing practice, that staff-hours are treated as work time when employees accompany trips, and that the program produced net proceeds (staff cited roughly $50,000 in 2024 and $65,000 in 2025). The committee also approved a memorandum of understanding with Cuddle Motorsports LLC (doing business as the International Hot Rod Association/IH) to host the 2026 and 2027 Midwest Racing Challenge; staff said Visit Sheboygan grant support and other reimbursements offset portions of public-safety overtime costs and that staff will provide a consolidated estimate of net city costs at a later date.
The committee approved changes to the police department table of organization and compensation plan (personnel adjustments and parity for limited-term positions) and authorized the city to execute a three-year tentative labor agreement with Amalgamated Transit Union Local 998 for 2026–2028 that includes annual base increases (approximately 2.75% per year) and a supplemental .5% adjustment for paratransit drivers.
Finally, the committee approved an interlocal agreement framework to bring assessing services in-house in partnership with the City of Plymouth, a move staff said would require purchasing assessment software and hiring a small in-house team but is expected to yield long-term savings and open eligibility for a state innovation fund grant.
All of these items passed committee by majority/voice vote and will follow normal referral or implementation steps.
