FINANCE & PERSONNEL COMMITTEE Meeting

# Milwaukee Finance & Personnel Committee Meeting

The Finance & Personnel Committee is a key group of Milwaukee Common Council members who meet regularly to review and approve the city's money matters and employee policies. This committee handles major decisions about how the city spends taxpayer dollars, manages city worker benefits and pay, approves contracts, and reviews the annual budget. The committee typically meets at City Hall (Room 301-B, 3rd Floor) and streams meetings online through the City Channel so residents can watch.

This committee matters to you because it directly controls how Milwaukee spends your tax dollars. Recent meetings show the committee has debated fire truck purchases, police technology contracts, city worker pay raises, and lead prevention funding—issues that affect public safety, city services, and your neighborhood. The committee also hears from residents about budget priorities, like the October 2025 public hearing where hundreds of Milwaukeeans shared concerns about lead prevention, library services, and worker wages.

The committee is currently chaired by Alderwoman Marina Dimitrijevic and includes aldermen and alderwomen from across the city. If you want to weigh in on city spending or attend a meeting, you can watch live on the City Channel (Spectrum Cable Channel 25) or online at city.milwaukee.gov/citychannel. The committee's next scheduled meeting is May 28, 2026 at 9:00 AM at City Hall.
