MEETING MINUTES Special Village Board Meeting Village of Palmyra Monday March 30, 2026 100 W. Taft St. Village Hall Meeting Room 6:00 p.m. The meeting was called to order at 6:00 pm by Village President. Roll call: Ball, Deichl, Gorsegner, Petruska, Wallace-present. Smith and Tucker excused. Also present: Fire Chief Mike Gartzke and Laura Eysnogle from 5 Bugels Business 1. Laura Eysnogle from 5 Bugels presented what they discovered regarding the building assessment report for the Public Safety Building at 126 N. First St. Main take away was a new building will be needed in the near future, two to five years. Sleeping quarters are not up to current ADA codes as well as other parts of the building. Metal building would be almost as expensive to retrofit for a new PS building. With a metal building adding in in the future is almost impossible due to load limits and design of building. Parcel options are limited. Tom mentioned Aurelian Springs. Grant would need to be paid back. Old DPW lot is too small. Westfield development was also mentioned but how will that impact the build. Tim mapped out lots the village owns that could work. Tom talked about costs. A guesstimate was given (dollar amount??) Scott mentioned cost per square foot. Stephanie had some calculations. Angela, since the village had to borrow for the PFAS building, our financial advisors do not recommend borrowing for such a high dollar amount at this time. Laura stated costs could be saved if just a fire department building was built and leave the current building for the police department. Chief Mike said this would work even with cross trained employees. With the Kettle Moraine Fire district dissolving in next couple years, how will this impact our department and future building. Tim to discuss with Josh G. Laura stated in the meantime grading the back of the building, having the building blocks resealed and waterproofed, adding more air filtration, and resealing the windows. It was noted that the two previous directors were directed to look into taking this action. The cost per square foot is totaling $17,567,700 cost for whole project. Tim stated the whole board will discuss. No further action can be taken by Five Bugles until the board decides the next steps. 2. Wallace/Ball motion to appoint Heather Hazlett as an Election Worker. All ayes-motion carried. Ball/Petruska motion to adjourn at 7:10 pm. All ayes-motion carried.
