Pleasant Prairie adopts 2025 general fund budget, raises levy to cover transfers and one‑time spending
Summary
The Village Board approved the 2025 general government budget, adopting $24.7 million in operating revenue and a $25.2 million operating expense plan that includes a $2.3 million transfer to RecPlex and roughly $500,000 in one‑time decision packets. The resolution passed on a voice vote.
The Village of Pleasant Prairie onvoice adopted its 2025 general fund budget, approving the operating, capital and debt service plans and the corresponding property tax levy.
Kathy, the staff presenter, told the board the operating revenues in the general government budget are "revenues of 24,700,000, up 1,300,000." She said the draft budget shows operating expenses of $25,200,000 and includes a $2.3 million transfer to the recreational enterprise fund to retire an interfund loan for RecPlex and begin 2025 with a surplus. Even after the transfer and one‑time decision packets, she said "our 25 reserves are budgeted to end the year at 10,600,000 or 42%," well above the village's 25% minimum reserve policy.
The board heard details on major revenue and expense drivers: property tax increases (largely a $600,000 transfer from general government capital and $147,000 of levy growth), a rise in license and permit revenue and higher public safety and public works costs. The capital plan includes large items such as fleet replacement charges, a splash pad and road projects. After the public hearing closed with no signed public commenters, the board moved and passed the adoption resolution by voice vote.
