Budget Task Force Overview

Waukesha County is a fiscally conservative, well-planned county that for decades has held the highest attainable bond rating (AAA/Aaa) as a measurement of its financial planning and credit worthiness. Its data-driven decision making and conservative approach to budgeting have made it stand out as one of the nation’s top performing counties. Gathering public input into the budget process has always been an important part of the county approach to fiscal management and the Budget Task Force will play an important role in continuing that practice and will provide direction for future county budgets.

During multiple meetings between May and June 2024, the Task Force will examine the county’s future capital and operating needs, review all revenue options available to the county under state law, and will ultimately make recommendations to the County Executive and the County Board as to how its members believe the county should approach its budgets over the next 5-10 years.

The final report is due to the County Executive and the County Board by August 31, 2024. More information on the Budget Task Force, including task force membership will be made available once finalized.
