West Milwaukee Board allocates remaining TID 2 funds and approves $634,733 in vouchers and biweekly payrolls
Summary
The Village Board voted unanimously to allocate the remaining TID 2 balance to the 2025 Capital Improvement and Equipment Replacement budget and approved commercial vouchers totaling $634,733.25 and two biweekly payrolls of $132,799.86 and $121,687.11.
At its April 7 meeting the West Milwaukee Village Board approved a series of finance measures recommended by the Finance Committee.
Chairperson John Ragonese moved, seconded by Trustee Schuettke, to allocate the remaining Tax Incremental District (TID) 2 balance to the Village's 2025 Capital Improvement and Equipment Replacement budget; the motion carried on a unanimous roll call. Ragonese then moved, with Schuettke seconding, to approve commercial vouchers dated March 24 through April 7, 2025 (checks numbered 34307–34383) in the amount of $634,733.25; that motion also passed on a unanimous roll call.
The Board also approved two biweekly payrolls on the Finance Committee's recommendation: the March 21, 2025 payroll for $132,799.86 and the April 4, 2025 payroll for $121,687.11; both motions were moved by Ragonese, seconded by Schuettke and passed by unanimous roll call votes.
Why it matters: Allocating remaining TID funds to capital projects determines the near-term municipal investment priorities and available funding for equipment replacement. Approval of vouchers and payrolls finalizes routine but material expenditures for the Village's operations.
What was not specified: The minutes do not record the remaining TID 2 balance dollar amount or a line-item breakdown of the capital/equipment projects to be funded; those details were not provided during the meeting and remain "not specified."
