5. Visitors’ Comments: There were none.
6. Maintenance Manager Report:
MacDonald provided an overview of the activities the Maintenance Department completed in April. He
explained that April had been a transition month focused on preparing facilities for spring and summer
operations. The department completed dethatching all Village properties and coordinated with the
Highway Department to sweep all roadways before the recent heavy rains.
MacDonald reported that gutters were reinstalled at the Administration office after being removed for
winter due to ice-damming issues. They also continued cleaning up downed trees and debris from winter
storms. Bathrooms were being slowly reopened with deep cleaning procedures to ensure everything was
operational for the season.
Despite the spring timing, the department had to conduct ice control operations once in April.
MacDonald also noted they had handled various digger requests related to the North End Walking Path
construction project. He mentioned that the contractor had begun work at the dump site.
7. Update on German Road Dump:
MacDonald provided an update on the German Road dump project. He announced that work was
expected to be completed in the next couple of days. He explained that the project had experienced
delays due to weather, as well as waiting for weight restrictions to be lifted from the Town of Liberty
Grove Road before contractors could access the site. He described the current state of the work, noting
that contractors had scraped the area down to bedrock, which he believed would create a much better
driving surface. Berms had been constructed around the perimeter of the expanded area. He detailed the
planned organization of the dump site and noted he was waiting for the signs to arrive to direct traffic
flow properly once the construction was complete.
A discussion was held regarding the German Road brush and yard waste site. Lohman inquired about
the expansion size. MacDonald confirmed the new dump was at least five times larger than the original
area. When asked about the need for additional gravel, MacDonald indicated he didn't believe additional
material would be necessary, as contractors were working to level the area using existing materials,
including dredging materials from marina operations. Further discussion arose about future dredging
2
operations from the marina. MacDonald explained that the same location previously used for dredging
material would continue to be available, with materials being pushed back further toward German Road
to create more space. MacDonald reiterated that weight restrictions had been the primary constraint,
noting that the Village office had received numerous calls from residents asking about the dump's
reopening. He emphasized that contractors couldn't work any faster than the conditions allowed. Bristol
raised concerns about drainage, questioning whether the excavated area might become a "swimming
pool" during wet conditions. MacDonald acknowledged that the experienced equipment operators
weren't shooting grades but expressed confidence that the bedrock base with its natural fractures would
provide adequate drainage.
8. New Business for the next meeting:
a. No new business was discussed.
9. Adjournment:
Flottman moved to adjourn at 8:08 AM, Lohman seconded, all ayes. Motion carried.

Administration Building Project
Overview & Options
Carly, Ken & Brent
5/12/2026
Problems:
Deferred maintenance and an old building coupled with operational changes in the administration
department over time have resulted in the following challenges and issues with the current administrative
building:
• A flat roof, lack of proper insulation, and leaks within the building not only have resulted in its
physical and esthetic degradation but also pose a risk relative to air quality and record retention.
• The offices do not have proper, or in some cases any, HVAC within. One office does not have an
openable window.
• Lack of conditioned space in the lower level severely limits our long-term storage ability.
• On one hand, relocation of meetings to the Village Hall was positive as it has removed the disruption
that previously occurred with meetings held at the admin office. However, despite having a very
expensive and quality AV system in the Hall, it is not without its bugs. Whoever is reading this has
probably experienced an AV failure or disruption along the way. These disruptions, while not regular,
are occurring, and they are occurring even with regular trouble shooting and testing by Brent. The
normal process is a dry run of the equipment before each HPC/Plan Meeting, each Board meeting,
and before committee meeting week at the first of each month. On average, although Brent is
spending 4-5 hours each month checking, trouble shooting and fixing connectivity issues, issues still
occur.
• Additionally, the time required to set up and break down the Village Hall for meetings is something
that falls on a busy maintenance department.
Project Goals:
• Provide safe and effective work environment for Admin Staff
• Provide adequate storage for Admin operations and record retention
• Find a solution that can permit us to move meetings back to the Admin Office while hopefully
minimizing meeting disruption to the operation of the office
• Allow the Fire Department to use new space for classroom training, possibly freeing up their existing
training room for other purposes
Option Breakdown
Option 0: (Partial renovation)
Pro:
• Addresses the deferred maintenance issues within the current building.
• HVAC added to the two rear offices and basement
• Conditioned basement allows for additional storage
• New roof on building
• New insulation on exterior walls and roof of building
Con:
• No alterations within the office building
• No relocation of meetings from Village Hall
• No room for any growth
• No accessibility improvements
• Not intended as a long-term solution
Option 1: (Full renovation of existing structure)
Pro:
• Can possibly move smaller committee meetings back to Admin Building
• Conditioned basement allows for additional storage
• Options for minor reconfiguring of office layout within the existing building envelope
• Some modernization of facility to better support current and future needs
• Better accessibility with the addition of exterior ramp
• HVAC added to the two existing rear offices and basement
Con:
• 1 office still has no openable window
• Still requires the use of Village Hall for HPC/Plan and Village Board Mtgs.
• Meetings held in office are still somewhat disruptive to office operations as the flow and access is
not ideal
• AV system while new would likely still have to be broken down from time to time and cannot likely
be hard wired. This increases the likelihood of failure, disruption and maintenance.
Option 2: (Small addition)
Pro:
• All village meetings, minus the largest public hearings, can move back to Admin bldg.
• Board/Committee member table and AV systems can be permanent/hard wired
• Conditioned basement allows for additional storage
• Small addition allows for a more significant reconfiguring of the office/meeting room layout for
more separation and better flow. Offices can all be new construction designed based on needs
with new HVAC equipment and openable windows.
• Modernizes facility to better support current and future needs
• Accessible ramp is completely enclosed
• Addition only impacts the portion of the building that was previously an addition. Original
aesthetics retained
• Room for Fire Department classroom training
Con:
• Looking at the long term this plan likely limits office staffing to 3 full-time employees. Current staff
does not see the need for a 4th full-time staff member on the horizon. Space can be found for part-
time employees, limited-term employees or interns if need be
Option 3: (Large addition)
Pro:
• All village meetings can move back to Admin bldg.
• Board/Committee member table and AV systems can be permanent/hard wired
• Conditioned basement allows for additional storage
• Large addition would completely separate the admin office from the meeting room so no
disruption would occur
• Completely modern office housed in a brand-new office addition.
• Better accessibility
• Enough space to guarantee that the addition would satisfy the needs of the admin department for
the foreseeable future.
• Accessible ramp is completely enclosed.
Con:
• Cost
• Separation is a con on election day as the offices of Andrea and Kim would be removed from the
operation and out of earshot.
• Significant change to the look of the building, additional bulk
Option 4: (New building)
Pro:
• Ground up purpose built new construction that will be a long-term solution without the need to
utilize a portion of the existing building.
Con:
• Plan results in either the demolition of the existing Admin building or the relocating of the facility to
a new location. The latter option would still require us to incur the costs of deferred maintenance
in Option 0
• If built in the same location, we would lose a historic building
• If built on the same site but in a different location, would require new utility connections, parking
lot, driveways, etc
• Cost

Offices in Fox Cities, Madison,
Milwaukee, & Wausau Option 0: Deferred Maintenance
Budget: $600,000 with $50,000 contingency
The project scope is limited to targeted deferred maintenance, including the addition of HVAC to two enclosed
office spaces (currently not code compliant), improvements to building insulation / exterior envelope,
conditioned HVAC basement, and full roof replacement. The work does not include building expansion,
reconfiguration, or full system replacement beyond these defined areas, and is intended to address specific
performance deficiencies rather than a long term solution.
Option 1: Remodel Existing (Existing 2,172 sq. ft.)
Budget: $1,300,000 with $100,000 contingency Timeline: 5 months construction
A comprehensive renovation of the existing 2,172 square foot facility to improve functionality, code compliance,
and overall building performance. Work would involve reconfiguration of interior spaces, upgrades to
mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems, and improvements to the building envelope as needed. This
approach maintains the existing structure while modernizing the facility to better support current and future
operational needs.
Option 2.0: Remodel & Addition Total: 2,990 (Existing 2,172 sq. ft. & 818 sq. ft. New)
Budget: $1,800,000 with $100,000 contingency Timeline: 6 months construction
This option includes renovation of the existing 2,172 square foot facility combined with an 818 square foot
addition to allow internal ramps (rather than external). This option improves on ‘option 2’ in allowing a safer
solution with lower long-term maintenance costs. Work includes integration of new and existing systems, interior
reconfiguration, and upgrades to building systems and envelope as required to support the addition.
Option 3: Remodel & Addition Total: 4,178 sq. ft. (Existing 2,172 sq. ft. & 2,006 sq. ft New)
Budget: $2,300,000 with $100,000 contingency Timeline: 7 months construction
This option includes renovation of the existing 2,172 square foot facility combined with a 2,006 square foot
addition to expand overall building capacity. The project would address deficiencies within the existing structure
while providing new, purpose-built space to support operational needs. Work includes integration of new and
existing systems, improved layout and circulation, and targeted upgrades to the existing building to align with the
addition.
Option 4: New Facility (New 3,500 sq. ft.)
Budget: $2,000,000 with $100,000 contingency Timeline: 8 months construction
This option includes construction of a new 3,500 square foot facility, replacing the existing building entirely. The
new facility would be designed to meet current operational requirements, building codes, and energy
performance standards. Important to note this does not include land cost. This approach eliminates constraints
associated with the existing structure and allows for a fully optimized layout, modern systems, and long-term
durability with reduced maintenance needs.
