Wausau voters may decide in April 2026 whether to fund 12 new firefighters amid a surge in calls and a budget shortfall.
A Wausau referendum to boost fire department staffing by 12 firefighters is advancing after a 5-4 vote in the Committee of the Whole.
The proposal, driven by a 1,000-call surge over four years despite minimal staff growth, aims to add three firefighters per crew across three stations to cover absences and duties.
Estimated at $1.5 million, the plan faces financial concerns amid a $1.4 million budget deficit.
The City Council will decide on November 11 whether to place the referendum on the April 2026 ballot, with debate over funding, public resistance to taxes, and potential new revenue sources like charging insurance companies for fire services.
