Strategic Facilities - Update 1
After presentation and review of the 2018 Strategic Facilities Study, the Waupun Common Council created the Facility Advisory Committee during their January 8, 2019 meeting. This Facilities Study was an assessment of the physical and functional needs of the City’s buildings excluding parks and utility infrastructure. The assessment findings are also considered to address identified major deficiencies. The goal of the study was to create a strategic facilities report to serve as a potential guide to future building projects for the next 10 years and beyond in some cases.
Facilities reviewed in this study were:
- City Hall & Auditorium
- Community Center
- Family Aquatic Center
- Public Library
- Museum & Historical Society
- Safety Building (Fire & Police)
- Senior Center
The advisory committee will act as a working team of individuals made up of city staff, community members, and elected officials. Their overall goals include:
- Review the 2018 Strategic Facilities Study
- Identify a proposed project
- Develop project costs and potential funding sources
The advisory committee will review and recommend a direction to the council later this year.
