Waukesha parks board unanimously recommends 2027–2031 CIP to city council

The Waukesha Parks, Recreation and Forestry Board voted unanimously Aug. 31 to recommend the department’s proposed 2027–2031 capital improvement program to the city council. Chair called the motion, which Alderman Wells moved and Eric Hummer seconded, before taking a voice vote that passed without opposition.

Staff framed the CIP as a mix of maintenance and new‑capacity projects across playgrounds, athletic facilities, building systems, trail signage, IT and fleet upgrades. The board discussed budget timing and a recent finance committee review focused on fleet items before making the formal recommendation; staff noted council action is scheduled for Sept. 15. “All in favor, say aye,” the Chair said during the roll call vote.
