Rock Haven may provide care to non-Rock County residents

JANESVILLE — Rock Haven may open its beds to non-Rock County residents. Rock County’s Health Services Committee will see a resolution Wednesday to allow Rock Haven to accept out-of-Rock County referrals and residents into its care. Right now, Rock Haven is only open to residents of the county. Rock Haven is a Rock County-owned nursing home. If the committee OKs the resolution, it still needs approval from the full County Board, which could come as soon as Thursday. If ultimately approved by the board, it is unknown when Rock Haven would be opened up to non-Rock County residents. The county would need to establish, through an official policy, whether to allow residents from throughout Wisconsin and parts of Illinois, or just the counties immediately surrounding its current home turf. Rock Haven administrator Natalie Rolling-Edlebeck told The Gazette the nursing home receives referrals from outside Rock County “all the time.” There are 2-3 referrals from other counties on a daily basis. Many come from Dane and Green counties, with some from Walworth County. In the first week of November, there was even a referral out of Tennessee. “That’s potential revenue coming if we can meet the needs,” Rolling-Edlebeck said. While it

Voters can expect to see a city operational referendum question on their April ballots

JANESVILLE — Voters will see another referendum on the April 2027 ballot — but not for development on the GM/JATCO site. Instead, it will be to help fund city operations for the 2028 budget. Under state statute, the city’s annual increase to its property tax levy is limited to net new construction — or how much the city is currently building or developing that year. Janesville is currently facing an issue of costs rising at a faster rate than the city can legally raise its total tax levy. City Finance Director Dave Godek said the city’s operating costs have consistently grown faster than its ability to increase property tax revenue. From 2015 to 2025, the Consumer Price Index increased 32.88%, while net new construction in Janesville increased 17.27%, creating a gap of more than 15 percentage points. The difference has made it increasingly difficult for the city to maintain existing services while balancing its budget. During the city’s 2027 process, staff presented a budget that required a $621,989 draw from the city’s fund balance to meet the needs in the $64.9 million budget. Godek said the city has the ability to use its reserves to help balance the 2027 budget,
