During the public comment period a resident urged the Village Board to inform Waukesha County Executive Paul Farrell (as named by the speaker) that proposed budget cuts to the sheriff's department are unacceptable and asked the village to send a formal letter opposing the reductions.

The commenter said the county executive's budget trimming included eliminating one sheriff's department position and argued the department's staffing should be preserved because of its emergency response role. The speaker also referenced broader reductions to another budget and asked the board to "put him on notice" about the cuts.

Trustees asked clarifying questions about whether the speaker wanted the board to draft a letter; the speaker said he wanted a letter sent to the county executive. Staff and trustees discussed next steps but no formal motion or vote to draft or send a letter occurred at the meeting.

No county official or sheriff's department representative spoke at the meeting.

Because the speaker was not identified in the meeting record, this account attributes the remarks to "Resident" as a public commenter and does not infer further action beyond the request that trustees consider sending a letter to the county executive.
