There are only 8, and only 3 actually change the bottom line of the capital budget, the rest are language changes.
Here’s the the attachment the finance committee will be looking at.
Amendment 1
Agency CDA Redevelopment
Project Name Triange Redevelopment
Sponsor Evers
Page 44
Amendment Narrative Decrease Developer Capital Funding by $5.0 million and increase TID-supported GO Borrowing (TID 48) by $5.0 million.
Amendment Amount Add to Non GR GO Borrowing and Decrese other by $5 million
Fiscal Impact No increase to annual general fund debt services of Taxes on the Average Value Home, increase non-general fund debt services to $586,152.53
Finance Department Analysis The proposed amendment changes $5.0 million of Developer Capital Funding in 2025 to TID supported GO Borrowing in TID 48. TID 48’s project plan includes $10.0 million of support for the Triangle Redevelopment project. $5.0 million of TID-supported GO Borrowing was included in the 2024 Adopted Capital Budget for the project. This amendment appropriates the remaining $5.0 million in TID-supported GO Borrowing to better support CDA Redevelopment’s application for tax credits for the redevelopment project.
Operating Impact Operating impact will be the cost of debt service to repay GO Borrowing.
Amendment 2
Agency Economic Development Division
Project Name TiD 54 Pennsylvania Ave
Sponsor Rummel (courtesy) Co-sponsor: Latimer Burris

Amendment Amount $0
Fiscal Impact $0
Finance Department Analysis The proposed amendment adds language to the project description regarding the use of funding to hire a consultant in 2025. The consultant would assist with the implementation of the Oscar Mayer Special Area Plan. There is no fiscal impact to the amendment.
Operating Impact No significant operating costs are anticipated as a result of this amendment.
Amendment 3
Agency Engineering – Facilities Management; Engineering – Other Projects; Sewer Ut
Project Name Engineering Service Building Improvements; General Facility Improvements; Equipment & Vehicle Replacement; Trenchless Sewer Rehabilitation
Sponsor Verveer
Page N/A; 121; 140; 170
Amendment Narrative The proposed amendment adds the Engineering Service Building Improvements program (Munis #10192) to the Engineering – Facilities 2025 Capital Budget to fund the construction of a gender neutral locker room in the Engineering Services Building. The proposed amendment adds $75,000 in General Fund (GF) GO Borrowing and $675,000 in reserves from Sewer, Stormwater, and Landfill utilities to fund the project. The amendment also reduces funding in the following programs, resulting in a net neutral change across the capital budget. All of the changes are reflected below.
In addition to changing the budget amounts as described above, the amendment would add the following description for the Engineering Service Building Improvements program in the budget: This program is for scheduled improvements to the City’s Engineering Services Building. The goal of this program is to maintain and improve the City’s Engineering Services Building to optimize service operations and work conditions and to lower energy costs by implementing energy efficiency components within the improvement projects. Funding in 2025 is for a remodel to the existing locker rooms to serve the needs of a significant growth in field staff and to support APM 2-52 “Inclusive Workplace – Transgender, Gender Non-Conforming, and Non-Binary Employees.”
Amendment Amount $0
Fiscal Impact $0
Finance Department Analysis The Engineering Service Building Improvements program (Munis #10192) was last funded in the 2023 Adopted CIP. The 2023 budget included $895,000. Planned projects included remodeling an existing locker room to accommodate a growing number of field staff and support APM 2-52 “Inclusive Workplace – Transgender, Gender Non-Conforming, and Non-Binary Employees.” This project was delayed due to other priorities.
Engineering staff have been able to complete more planning work and are ready to move forward with the gender-neutral locker room project in 2025. The 2023 project has approximately $832,800 in unspent funding that will be used for the project. However, the total cost is expected to be higher than the available budget. This amendment would add $750,000 in funding by reducing the budget from programs in the Engineering – Facilities, Engineering – Other, and Sewer Utility budgets. These reallocations are detailed in the funding table in the narrative section above. As the facility improvements will serve field staff who work with the utilities, it is appropriate to use reserves from Landfill, Sewer, and Stormwater to fund the project.
Engineering staff expect that reducing the budgets for General Facility Improvements, Equipment and Vehicle Replacement, and Trenchless Sewer Rehab will not negatively impact the ability to complete scheduled work in each respective section of Engineering. Recent investments in the relevant programs, especially Equipment and Trenchless Rehab programs, have positioned the Engineering Division to be able to absorb one-time modest reductions in these programs to support a priority project.
Operating Impact No significant operating costs are anticipated as a result of this amendment.
Amendment 4
Agency Engineering – Major Streets
Project Name John Nolen Drive
Sponsor Verveer
Page 132
Amendment Narrative Reduce General Fund (GF) GO Borrowing in 2028 by $4.0 million and increase funding in 2030 by the same amount for the construction of the pedestrian & bicycle underpass between Blair St & North Shore Drive.
Amendment Amount
Fiscal Impact $0
Finance Department Analysis The proposed amendment moves $4.0 million in GF GO Borrowing from 2028 to 2030 for the construction of a pedestrian & bicycle underpass between Blair St & North Shore Drive. As of September 2024, Engineering staff are reviewing the results of an underpass feasibility study and are in the process of developing a request for proposals to advance the conceptual design. Additionally, federal funding for the underpass has not yet been secured. The proposed change in this amendment reflects the likely construction timeline based on the need to complete design and secure federal funding.
Operating Impact No significant operating costs are anticipated as a result of this amendment.
Amendment 5
Agency Engineering – Major Streets
Project Name Reconstruction Streets
Sponsor Verveer
Page 135
Amendment Narrative Reduce General Fund (GF) GO Borrowing by $500,000 in 2025. Increase GF GO Borrowing in 2026 by $500,000 and add $750,000 in Developer Capital Funding for the State St & Mifflin St Plaza minor project (Munis #14987).
Amendment Amount
Fiscal Impact $0
Finance Department Analysis The proposed amendment moves $500,000 of GF GO Borrowing from 2025 to 2026 and adds $750,000 in Developer Capital Funding in 2026 for the State St & Mifflin St Plaza minor project (Munis #14987). The proposed amendment reflects a new schedule in coordination with the Wisconsin History Center Building redevelopment with design in 2025 and construction in the fall/spring of 2026/2027. The addition of developer capital funds reflects receipt of a permit deposit from the developer, which will support the cost of the project. The amendment will reduce debt service on 2025 borrowing by an estimated $117,231. The “Fiscal Impact” table above shows a $0 change in debt service because borrowing is being moved back to 2026 and there is no change in the total borrowing amount or total debt service on the project.
Operating Impact No significant operating costs are anticipated as a result of this amendment.
Amendment 6
Agency Information Technology
Project Name Camera Lifecycle Management; Digital Media Program
Sponsor Verveer
Page 30
Amendment Narrative
Restore the Camera Lifecycle Management program as a separate program in Information Technology’s (IT) Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). Add funding to the Camera Lifecycle Management program by reducing funding in the Digital Media Program.
The amendment adds the following amount of GF GO Borrowing to the Camera Lifecycle Management program and decreases GF GO Borrowing in the Digital Media Program by the same amount.
2025: $160,000
2026: $250,000
2027: $250,000
2028: $250,000
2029: $250,000
2030: $250,000
The amended budget for the Digital Media Program is as follows:
2025: $75,000
2026: $80,000
2027: $235,000
2028: $212,000
2029: $233,000
2030: $255,000
Amendment Amount $0
Fiscal Impact $0
Finance Department Analysis Restore the Camera Lifecycle Management Program as a separate program. In the 2025 budget request, IT proposed combining the Camera Lifecycle Management program with the Audiovisual Systems program budget and renaming the combined programs as the Digital Media Program (Project #13535). This amendment restores Camera Lifecycle Management as a standalone program. The Camera Lifecycle Management program supports the replacement and maintenance of the City’s digital security cameras and the City’s traffic cameras. The Traffic Engineering CIP also includes the Camera Lifecycle Management program; that budget is intended to support the traffic camera portion of the program. This amendment is budget neutral as it reallocates funding from the Digital Media Program to the Camera Lifecycle Management program.
Operating Impact No significant operating costs are anticipated as a result of this amendment.
Amendment 7
Agency Parks Division
Project Name Lake Monona Waterfront Improvement
Sponsor Verveer
Page 159
Amendment Narrative The proposed amendment renames the Lake Monona Waterfront Improvement project to “Madison LakeWay Improvements” and updates the project description. The updated project description clarifies the collaboration with Madison LakeWay Partners and a forthcoming collaborative agreement between the City and Madison LakeWay Partners.
Updated Project Description:
This project funds improvements to the Madison LakeWay, previously known as Lake Monona Waterfront. It aims to implement the adopted park master plan to create a signature waterfront park along the shore of Lake Monona. Ongoing planning work, supported by previously allocated funds, will continue into 2025. Madison Parks is also collaborating with the Madison LakeWay Partners, a nonprofit partner organization through a forthcoming Cooperative Agreement, to identify additional outside funding resources to realize the master plan vision for the waterfront.
Amendment Amount $0
Fiscal Impact $0
Finance Department Analysis There is no fiscal impact associated with updating the project name and project description.
Operating Impact No operating costs are anticipated as a result of this amendment
Amendment 8
Agency Traffic Engineering
Project Name Street Light Installation
Sponsor Currie (courtesy) Co-Sponsor : Field, Martinez-Rutherford
Page 218
Amendment Narrative Add $155,000 in TID 44 increment funding to Traffic Engineering’s Street Light Installation capital program. Funding will support street lighting along South Stoughton Road near a recently approved tiny home village to improve pedestrian, bike, and vehicle safety.
Amendment Amount
Fiscal Impact $0
Finance Department Analysis The proposed amendment adds $155,000 in TID 44 increment funding to Traffic Engineering’s Street Light Installation capital program. Due to the upcoming closure of the TID, the work needs to be paid in 2025 to be eligible for TID funding. Additionally, an amendment to the TID 44 Project Plan will need to be approved to authorize the expenditure. The Street Light Installation program currently includes $615,000 of funding in 2025 and is primarily funded by developer funding and general fundsupported borrowing.
Operating Impact There is expected to be minimal electricity and maintenance costs associated with the project.
