Waukesha utility approves monthly payments; official notes $721,493 PILOT to city
Summary
The commission approved routine payments from the general and improvement funds and staff highlighted a $721,493 payment to the City of Waukesha as the third quarterly PILOT contribution, part of roughly $2.1 million annual payments in lieu of taxes.
The commission voted to approve payments from the general fund and improvement fund during its May 15 meeting. Staff pointed commissioners to a $721,493 check to the City of Waukesha listed on the vouchers as the third quarterly payment in the utility's payment-in-lieu-of-taxes (PILOT) schedule.
A staff member explained how PILOT is calculated and that water utilities in the state pay a utility PILOT to cities and that the utility's annual PILOT totals about $2.1 million. The staff member said the Public Service Commission prescribes the formula and that the city sometimes negotiates different arrangements but cannot receive more than the PSC-dictated amount. The voucher approvals passed by voice vote with no recorded roll-call dissent.
