Waukesha committee recommends CDBG allocation package totaling about $209,911; council review planned June 3
Summary
Committee reviewed 2026 CDBG estimates and recommended staff allocations after requests totaled $306,000 but available funding was about $209,911; the allocation resolution is slated for City Council consideration on June 3.
The committee reviewed the city’s estimated 2026 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding and recommended allocations that together match the city’s available entitlement, about $209,911 of $246,954 estimated funding. Chair opened the meeting saying, “total funding now this year is, dollars 246,954,” and noted that 85% of the entitlement is intended for facilities, housing and economic development and 15% for programs.
Staff and presenters told the committee the city received requests totaling $306,000 across project categories — including an ADA playground request of $226,000, facade/sign/awning grants of $25,000, Landmarks paint-and-repair grants of $25,000 and public art requests around $30,000 — and recommended trimming awards so total project allocations match the $209,911 available. The chair said staff recommend an ADA allocation of $128,962 and roughly $30,949 for public art, with program funding staying near $37,043.
Committee members also discussed reallocating unused 2025 funds to align with lower federal entitlement estimates conveyed by the County. The chair explained the reallocation proposal reflects that Public Works did not have an immediate plan for certain public infrastructure funds and said the goal is to present an allocation resolution to City Council on June 3 for approval.
No formal committee vote was recorded in the transcript; staff characterized the materials as a recommendation to be forwarded to City Council for final action.
