Thiensville's Board of Trustees meets today, Oct. 19, with a slate of 2027 budget resolutions on its agenda, including the Southern Ozaukee Fire & EMS Department budget and the purchase of a replacement fire engine. No votes are recorded in the five recent meeting entries supplied for the past two weeks: each is listed as agenda only, with minutes not yet published.
