Human Resources Committee — July 15, 2026
Starting January 1, 2027, retirees can only run out three weeks of vacation; anything beyond that is paid as a lump sum. The change saves the city from paying months of insurance and retirement contributions for long vacation run-outs.
Waukesha Water Commission — May 21, 2026
The utility updated its PTO, holiday and retiree insurance policies for the first time in about a decade — adding MLK Day and Veterans Day, boosting PTO, and offering a cheaper single-coverage retiree option — to stay competitive in recruiting and retention.
