• Mayor conferences increased
• Tess Corners Fire Department is increased $100K - 3 year plan
• Library adjustment for any incidental overtime
• Cleaning services - having issues with results we are getting especially in the parks and public
works. We have been working with them but it should be in the budget in case we want to
make a change.

Review 2024 Water and Sewer Budgets
Ms. Mustapich went over the utility budgets. Both water and sewer have maintained strong fund
balances and no significant changes. Therefore, rates are proposed to remain the same.
Ald. Kubacki questioned whether costs would be going up. Ms. Mueller stated that the working
fund balance is going down, but we are still way over what we are recommended to have. She
projects that we won't have to implement a rate increase for 2 - 3 years. There are plenty of RCA
funds which also subsidizes the operating and capital.
All in favor.
