Action Items:
Flottman moved, Lohman seconded to approve the minutes of August 4, 2026, all ayes. Motion carried.
The consensus of the Physical Facilities & Utilities Committee members present was that a walkthrough is
warranted before making final recommendations with the PFU Committee meeting on site at its regularly
scheduled time. The Committee discussed the logistics of the walkthrough. The PFU Committee will walk first
to reach an internal consensus, then invite the Village Board to join later in the same morning—or at a
minimum, have the Chair as board representative present findings. It was agreed that the October meeting
would be held as a walking meeting on the path, beginning at 8:00 AM, with the tree and bollard placement to
be assessed simultaneously.
Lohman moved to adjourn at 8:59 AM, Flottman seconded, all ayes. Motion carried.
Present: Paul Flottman, Scott Lohman, Brian Reinhardt, and Matt Meacham – Chair.
Absent: None.
Staff: Brent Bristol – Village Administrator, Justin MacDonald – Maintenance Manager/Fire Chief, and Kim
Roberts - Deputy Clerk.
Guests online: Kelsey Stone (EBC).
Guests in person: Tom Wolffe, Bruce Nelson, John Held, and Carly Mulliken.
1. Call to Order: Meacham called the meeting to order at 8:00 AM. Quorum: A quorum was present for
this meeting.
2. Changes in Agenda: There were none.
3. Approval of Previous Minutes:
Flottman moved, Lohman seconded to approve the minutes of August 4, 2026, all ayes. Motion
carried.
4. Visitors’ Comments:
John Held, addressed the Committee with concerns regarding the boat parking area on German Road.
He noted that he regularly uses the green area for garbage disposal and has observed activity that
appears inconsistent with the original design intent of the lot. Specifically, he observed boats being
stored in the area, jet ski trailers present despite only one approved jet ski in the marina, and fewer than
half of the trailers displaying a valid sticker authorizing use of the lot. He noted that his understanding of
the original rules restricted the lot to trailers only, for those holding slips at the Firehouse Marina or
Anderson Dock, or for transients. He asked whether the rules had changed, and if so, what they now are
and who is responsible for enforcing them.
5. Maintenance Manager Report:
MacDonald provided the monthly report, noting that August activity was similar to prior years. Regular
operations included bathroom cleaning, lawn mowing, and watering. Additional work completed during
the period included:
• Multiple pressure washings of Anderson Dock and the gazebo at Harborside Park.
• Painting of all exterior trim at the village office prior to August 11th.
• Installation of an electrical outlet at the beach by Northern Electric to allow the drinking fountain
to function properly.
• Tree trimming and brush clearing around Anderson Dock along the lot lines and parking lot.
2
• Beach cleanup on the newly acquired property north of the marina.
• Ditch mowing, carpet cleaning at the library, and assistance to the EBC with their "Sweet
Summer Send Off" event.
• Completion of paving and shouldering work by the highway department on various streets and at
the wastewater facility.
• Ongoing work with the EBC to relocate the map at the Visitor Center.
6. Discussion and Recommendation of tree at the Library:
Meacham provided background, noting that a tree at the library had been removed approximately two
years prior, with the understanding that the Committee would later consider replacement. He observed
that the area has since filled in with grass.
MacDonald cautioned that any replacement tree must not be permitted to grow above the roofline, as
replacement tiles for the building's roof are no longer available. Any branch or limb fall onto the roof
would necessitate an entirely new roof structure, making tree selection critical.
Carly Mulliken, Chair of the Library Committee, addressed the Committee. She noted that in 2025, the
Library Committee had discussed and suggested a sugar maple as a replacement—acknowledging this
runs counter to MacDonald's recommendation. She shared that she had spoken with Suzanne Ihrig, the
librarian, who indicated that patrons seem to miss the shade tree and that the space is seeing less use
without it. Mulliken acknowledged the limitations and the reason for the original removal, but conveyed
the Committee's preference for a shade tree if feasible.
A discussion was held regarding a replacement tree at the library. Meacham inquired whether a picnic
table or bench, rather than a shade tree, might improve utilization of the space. Mulliken responded that
while it would not provide shade, it could make the area more functional and suggested trialing the
picnic table to observe any change in usage. MacDonald noted that the Village does have a picnic table
available and offered to bring it down.
The Committee agreed that MacDonald would bring the picnic table to the library area, and that the
Library Committee would reconvene prior to next month's meeting—scheduled for the 10th—to discuss
alternative tree suggestions and report back to the Committee.
7. Discussion and Recommendation on Placement & Number of Trees on North End Path
Tom Wolffe, presented a preliminary review of tree species options for the North End Path, with a focus
on urban-tolerant plant material suitable for a roadside environment. He recommended crabapples, for
their multi-season interest—flowering, fruit display, and winter habit. He also noted catalpa trees as a
possibility, characterizing them as asymmetrical, urban-tolerant, and historically used as street trees in
Milwaukee and Madison, though acknowledging they have fallen somewhat out of favor. He also
discussed the Redmond Linden, a basswood variety originating from North Dakota, as a cold-hardy
option with good fall color and winter habit, which he suggested would be well-suited for the area in
front of Green Gables.
Wolffe emphasized that soil quality is a critical factor. He noted that the area likely contains
construction rubble and glacial till, and he recommended digging large planting pits—referencing a prior
project in Egg Harbor where 180 trees were planted using 8-foot by 4-foot, 35-inch deep pits filled with
quality soil—to give trees the best possible start. He cautioned against placing an expensive tree in a
poor planting hole. He also flagged road salt from Highway 42 as a concern, noting that airborne salt can
suppress growth or burn one side of a tree, and suggested anti-transpirant spray treatments in the first
year.
On watering, Wolffe outlined the general rule of thumb: The first year, the tree sleeps. The second year,
it creeps. The third year, it leaps. He recommended at least one inch of supplemental water per week in
the first year, using a mulch basin to facilitate efficient watering, and noted that after establishment,
trees should generally manage with natural rainfall.
3
Meacham stated that he had walked the path the prior day and expressed concern that while the plan is
strong in concept, conditions on the ground present practical challenges. He noted that in the area near
the former Sled Dog property, there is already planted shrubs close to the path, leaving limited space.
Similarly, in the Green Gables area, Welford has recently planted a row of trees between the parking lot
and the path, further constraining available planting locations. Meacham expressed concern that adding
more trees would appear crowded and aesthetically inconsistent.
Meacham identified the southern entrance area of the church as a potentially good location for a larger
specimen tree such as a white oak or sugar maple, a suggestion that had been raised at the prior meeting
by Bruce Nelson.
B. Nelson agreed, noting that the open area there would allow planting further from the path, reducing
root-pavement conflict, and noted that he had worked with Bob Bultman for species recommendations.
B. Nelson raised the general principle that planting a monoculture—a single species in a long row—
creates vulnerability to pests and disease, referencing the emerald ash borer and beech beetle as
examples, and suggested that greater species variation would be more prudent long-term.
Meacham noted that the area south of the Green Gables, in front of the George Burr Gallery, could
accommodate some smaller ornamental trees such as crabapples. He also raised a concern relevant to
both trees and the upcoming bollard discussion: Much of the north section of the path receives sun only
from the east in the morning, with the canopy blocking afternoon sun after approximately noon to 1:00
PM. The area around the former Sled Dog property and toward the George Burr Gallery remains more
open and better suited for sun-dependent plantings.
Bristol discussed the areas of the path that fall within the right-of-way—approximately 33 feet from the
centerline—and that while the Village has the authority to plant within that zone without the property
owner's consent, the Village had engaged with all adjacent property owners during construction. He
acknowledged Welford's particular interest in the landscaping along his property and suggested it may
be worth determining whether the property owners' preferences align with the Committee's plans.
MacDonald echoed Meacham's observations from their walk and seconded the recommendation for a
walkthrough.
Flottman suggested a formal field trip or walking meeting to stake out potential tree locations in person,
noting that mature tree canopy spreads are difficult to visualize on a map and that planning for long-term
growth is essential.
The consensus of the Physical Facilities & Utilities Committee members present was that a walkthrough
is warranted before making final recommendations with the PFU Committee meeting on site at its
regularly scheduled time. The Committee discussed the logistics of the walkthrough. The PFU
Committee will walk first to reach an internal consensus, then invite the Village Board to join later in
the same morning—or at a minimum, have the Chair as board representative present findings. It was
agreed that the October meeting would be held as a walking meeting on the path, beginning at 8:00 AM,
with the tree and bollard placement to be assessed simultaneously.
8. Discussion and Recommendation on Placement of Solar Bollards on North End Path:
A discussion was held regarding placement of the solar bollards on the North End Path. Meacham
presented the solar bollard placement plan as shown on the screen, walking through proposed locations
from south to north. It was noted that at intersections where there is already Cobra Lighting, solar
bollards may not need to be installed. Further, there are bollards shown on the curb side that would need
to be moved to the opposite side of the path for consistency and to protect it from county snowplow
operations. MacDonald reinforced this point, expressing concern that heavy, wet snow thrown by county
plows traveling along Highway 42 at speed could knock the bollards off if placed on the highway-side
edge. Meacham also flagged that a bollard shown further north falls within a heavily shaded area where
it would receive limited sunlight—potentially only six hours at peak—due to the tree canopy. He
4
expressed doubt about whether that location would generate sufficient solar charge.
The Committee agreed that a physical walkthrough is necessary to finalize bollard placement, and that
the installation contractor should ideally be present or consulted in connection with the walking meeting.
Bristol noted that bollard placement and tree placement should be considered together, as digging for
bollard installation could interfere with tree planting pits. He also noted that updated placement maps
could be produced following the walkthrough for board review.
The Committee agreed to address this item at the October walking meeting, alongside the tree placement
discussion.
9. Update on Moravia Point:
MacDonald reported that he had spoken with Bob Bultman the prior week. Bultman's plan was to
complete a first herbicide spray treatment that week, followed by a second application in a few weeks.
He anticipated burning the site sometime in late October or early November, with a first seeding to
follow just before the first snowfall, depending on weather conditions. MacDonald noted that the project
is proceeding as a prairie restoration, which is inherently a slow process, but that steps are materializing
to move forward.
10. Discussion and consideration of newly acquired property north of the marina.
Meacham introduced the item, noting that the Village has acquired a parcel adjacent to the marina
building and that some vegetation removal will be needed to clean up the site. He opened discussion on
whether the Committee supports extending the sidewalk to connect through that property.
A discussion was held regarding the newly acquired Village property north of the marina. Flottman
stated that extending the sidewalk seemed logical, as completing the connection to the marina area fills
an obvious gap in the pedestrian network. Lohman asked whether the Marina Committee had considered
using the property for a kayak or canoe launch. John Held and Bruce Nelson, members of the Marina
Committee, were present and addressed the question. Held noted that the marina already has a kayak
launch—a small pier referred to as the "green launch"—with a $3 launch fee, though it is not heavily
used. He stated that the Marina Committee was present to hear the PFU Committee's recommendations
rather than to present their own, and that he anticipated the Marina Committee would be willing to
develop ideas and bring them back for review.
B. Nelson outlined that the board had previously approved consideration of a widened shoulder along
Highway 42 on that property, which could add a small number of parallel parking spots. He indicated
the Marina Committee would be meeting the following day to discuss the parcel. He expressed support
for extending the walkway to connect to the marina building and then to the crosswalk at the Firehouse
Museum. He noted that the shoreline question—whether to install a rock wall, maintain a beach, and
whether it would function as a swimming area—is a more complex discussion that the Committee has
not yet engaged in depth, and suggested treating it as a separate conversation.
Lohman expressed agreement that the path extension makes sense and that cleaning up the overgrown
vegetation should be a near-term priority, with end use of the parcel to be determined later.
Bristol noted that as Harbormaster, he sees the parcel as an exciting opportunity but that no master plan
exists yet. He indicated that any significant marina expansion—additional slips, breakwater—would
likely be a million-dollar-plus project requiring extensive dredging. On the shoulder and path extension,
he noted that while a verbal indication of support from the DOT was received after the 2020 shoreline
project, there has been a change of personnel at the DOT and that prior approval can no longer be
assumed. He suggested that if the path is designed to remain off the right-of-way, DOT approval may
not be required. He also noted the presence of an electrical transformer and communication equipment
on the east side of the marina building that would need to be navigated depending on whether the path
runs on the highway side or the water side.
5
Held clarified that the newly acquired property is not marina property, and expressed that the Marina
Committee had come to hear the PFU Committee's recommendations, not to be tasked with developing
the plan themselves, though he acknowledged the Marina Committee would be willing to bring forward
ideas for review.
Meacham clarified that the intent was not to transfer responsibility but to be respectful of the Marina
Committee's interests given the adjacency of the parcel.
Lohman affirmed that the Board would ultimately make the final decision, ideally informed by
recommendations from both Committees.
B. Nelson agreed there is no time urgency, and suggested separating the discussion into two tracks: near-
term cleanup and path/parking planning, and a longer-term conversation about the shoreline.
11. New Business for the next meeting:
a. Meacham raised the issue of several properties in the Village with excessively high grass that
needs to be cut. He noted the Village has an ordinance addressing noxious weeds and grass
height.
b. 2027 Budget
12. Adjournment:
Lohman moved to adjourn at 8:59 AM, Flottman seconded, all ayes. Motion carried.
