Transmittal Letter
Rebecca Grill, City Manager
October 10, 2025
Honorable Mayor and City Council:
It is my privilege to transmit for your consideration the City of Oshkosh’s 2026 proposed budget. This budget continues our
commitment to high-quality service delivery while positioning the City of Oshkosh to meet long-term challenges with innovation,
e ciency, and scal responsibility.
Through a combination of organizational restructuring, no increase for health and dental bene ts, use of vacancy savings, and
transfer of fund balance, this budget does not increase the tax levy from the 2025 amount. Although the use of fund balance for
operations is not a sustainable way to fund services, we have reduced the amount from 2025 and will take actions in 2026 which will
likely allow us to all but eliminate the use of fund balance for the 2027 budget.
This proposal re ects the strategic goals set by Council and integrates the priorities we began advancing in 2025: ensuring the
continuity of high-quality services, restructuring for cross-training and alignment of staff resources, reducing duplication of
responsibilities and equipment, and focusing resources on the highest-priorities and needs. Planning for the organizational
restructuring is now underway, and implementation will begin shortly. This process will continue throughout the end of 2025 and into
2026, including the creation of a new Communications and Engagement Division in the City Manager’s Department with reallocated
resources. This division will strengthen strategic alignment, ensure cohesive messaging, and expand our outreach to better connect
residents with their government through plain-language communication and readily available resources.
The 2026 budget makes targeted investments in technology to streamline operations and improve the customer experience. These
include the implementation of new software solution for public-facing processes—creating a true one-stop shop for residents and
businesses—as well as expanded internal use to support e ciency. The budget also proposes investments in AXON software, Modus
poll worker scheduling software, content management systems for both the intranet and website, and a citywide migration to
Microsoft 365 to modernize our operations and enhance collaboration, project tracking, and e ciency tools.
Vacancy savings are incorporated, and an increase for non-represented employees is included to maintain internal parity. This allows
for the non-represented employees to receive increases commensurate with the represented police and re employees, which
demonstrates our commitment to all of our city employees and helps us retain and recruit high-quality staff. Using the Three Waves
Clinic and strategic decisions in managing our self-funded plans, health and dental coverage will continue with no increase.
As a reminder, the City’s nancial constraints are now connected to levy limits, not quali cation for the Expenditure Restraint Incentive
Program (ERIP). This changes the focus from what can be spent to what can be levied. Previously, the City was able to use the levy
limit debt adjustment to allow for increases above the levy limits, but this option is now limited. (Many other cities in Wisconsin faced
this challenge much earlier than Oshkosh and had to make signi cant adjustments annually to adhere to the levy limits or lose state
aid.)
Special revenue funds and internal services funds that rely on levy support are being reintegrated into the General Fund. Reintegrating
the accounts into the general fund takes advantage of the shift from ERIP to levy limits. It also recognizes that the special revenue
funds are mostly supported by property taxes and fund balances (if any) should be part of the general fund balance, not separate. This
ensures that the fund balance amounts are not spread out into many different accounts that are not included in the general fund
balance totals, and we are able to maintain the recommended amount in the general fund balance without unnecessarily increasing
the tax levy. Further, the proposed budget does include a drawdown of fund balance, but the majority of the drawdown is for
contingency.
The capital plan strategically invests in development to increase net new construction and build levy capacity for the future.
We remain focused on advancing a culture of continuous improvement and achieving the goals set for me by the Council, which align
with our mission to provide services in pursuit of a safe and vibrant community, and our vision of a thriving and sustainable
community offering abundant opportunities for work and life.
Oshkosh, WI | Budget Book 2026 Page 7
This budget is not only a nancial plan, but a roadmap for continued transformation—aligning resources, investing in technology, and
building a culture of engagement and innovation that strengthens both our organization and our community.
Thank you to Finance Director Julie Calmes and her team for their dedication and efforts in compiling this budget. Thank you to the
Department Heads and their teams for their exibility and understanding as we tackle the increased scal challenges and work to
preserve services.
I look forward to discussing the highlights outlined on the following pages and addressing your questions and concerns relating to the
overall budget.
Respectfully submitted,
Rebecca Grill

Budgetary Basis
Budgetary Basis refers to the point in time at which revenues and expenditures are recognized in the accounts and reported in the nancial
statements.
Modi ed Accrual is the method under which revenues and other nancial resource increments are recognized when they become susceptible
to accrual; that is, when they become both “measurable” and “available to nance expenditures of the current period.” “Available” means
collectible in the current period or soon enough thereafter to be used to pay the liabilities of the current period.
The Governmental Funds (General, Special Revenue, Debt Service, and Capital Project) and Fiduciary Funds are budgeted and accounted for
using the modi ed accrual basis of accounting. Property taxes are recorded in the year levied as receivable and deferred revenues. They are
recognized as revenues in the succeeding year when services nanced by the levy are provided. Property taxes are levied and billed in
December. Payment in full or the rst installment payment due date is January 31. The second installment payment due date is March 31, the

Fund Descriptions
Governmental accounting systems should be organized and operated on a fund basis. Individual resources are allocated to, and accounted for,
in separate accounting entities, identi ed as funds, based upon the purposes for which they are to be spent and the means by which spending
activities are legally controlled.
Governmental units should establish and maintain those funds required by law and sound nancial administration. Only the minimum number
of funds consistent with legal and operating requirements should be established because unnecessary funds result in in exibility, undue
complexity, and ine cient nancial administration.
Individual funds are classi ed into three broad categories: Governmental, Proprietary, and Fiduciary. All funds are appropriated.

accounts (GAAP); b) depreciation is recorded as an expense (GAAP) and not recognized for budgetary purposes.

Mission Statement
To help people nd knowledge resources; provide free access to information; preserve local history; and create a vibrant community gathering
place.
Strategic Plan Goals
*Increase activities that connect people with and demonstrate the value of the library's resources - In 2025, the library invested $10,000 in
private endowment funding to broaden the reach and relevance of its programming. This library-wide effort aimed to increase the number,
variety, and demographic diversity of events, with a focus on fostering community connection and demonstrating the value of library
resources. Program offerings were expanded to include music performances, gaming events, civic engagement activities, and traditional
literacy-based programs. Each was designed to welcome new audiences and create shared experiences among residents of all ages. A
highlight of the year was the 2025 Summer Reading Program, which rallied the community around a collective goal of 1 million minutes read—
an effort that was met with enthusiastic participation and full community achievement. These investments re ect the library’s continued
commitment to being a vibrant, inclusive space that inspires learning, connection, and civic life.
*Create trusted content that informs community members and showcases the library’s unique skills and collections - In 2025, the Oshkosh
Public Library introduced new online content such as "This Month in Library History" for the 125th anniversary of the founding of OPL, and
boosted Instagram engagement with on-brand content including short-form videos (known as reels). Strategic and trend-aware Instagram
content increased views by 668 percent from 1,900 to 14,600 views between March and July. Also, the library's email newsletter continues to
far outperform industry averages, boasting a 48% open rate over the rst six months of 2025. Special digital marketing campaigns have driven
participation in initiatives, including a community survey, which logged 1,146 responses in July.
*Increase and strengthen community partnerships to build the library’s reputation as a trusted collaborator and a place where people and ideas
come together - In 2025, the Oshkosh Public Library worked with Oshkosh Area Schools, Boys and Girls Club, the Department of Workforce
Development (who used part of the library building as temporary o ces while DWD moved to Oshkosh) on various initiatives, all of which were
designed to increase library access and engagement.
2025 Accomplishments
*Strategic Planning — Published an RFP for strategic planning consulting and reviewed more than 10 excellent responses, with the selection
committee deciding upon Northspan consulting, based in Duluth, MN. As of this writing (late July, early August 2025), a community-informed
survey has been published, gaining over 1000 responses. Next steps will be meeting with focus groups and the strategic planning committee
(made up of community leaders and stakeholders) to discuss survey results and determine the strategic initiatives that will guide the library's
path 2026-2031. The effort will be funded by private endowment funds.
*Compensation Study — Working with City HR and Cottingham-Butler/Total Reward Consulting, the pay structure of the library was studied for
the purposes of ensuring alignment with the larger City organization. The City of Oshkosh had done a study of this sort for other City
departments in 2022, but the library opted out at that time. The study found that library wages align with the market, but that more gradations in
the pay plan were needed to line up with the City's plan of administration. As a result of the study and working from consultant
recommendations, the library Board adopted the new plan, which includes a pay-for-performance system that rewards high-performing
employees. The compensation study was funded with private funds from endowments.
* Space Recon guration — In cooperation with Nicolet Federated Library System, Wisconsin Workforce Development, Brown County Library and
KI Wall, the Oshkosh Public Library secured grant funding and other private donations to install glass partition walls in the building. This allowed
for the creation of a "JobPod" — a space designed to allow jobseekers to use employment resources with an assurance of privacy. The library
was also able to create a sound-enclosed Young Adult/Teen area and a space for creative technologies (or "makerspace.") This effort was
funded by grants and private endowment funds.
*Financial Practices Study — Acting in concert with the City's Finance Department, Clifton LarsonAllen (CLA) accounting and the Winnefox
Library System (with whom the library contracts for
