Operating Government More Like A Business

While being financially responsible has always been a goal and responsibility of the Washington County Parks System, current and future fiscal trends for Washington County Government , and local government in general in Wisconsin, have brought forward a more intentional goal – to achieve financial independence and fiscal sustainability for the Parks Division.

The goals of this initiative, consistent with the County’s Strategic Plan, are to make the County Parks System independent of the property tax levy, “Offer access to unique amenities and natural resources”, and “Foster fiscal responsibility, sustainable services, operational excellence, trust and transparency by ensuring accountability, integrity, efficiency and innovation, and align more appropriately with the County’s Results, such as “provides an interconnected system of safe trails and paths that enhance the
mobility of the community.”
