Whitefish Bay.
2. Discussion/action on design concepts for the Klode Warming House.
Village Manager, Kelsey McElroy-Anderson, summarized previous discussions on this topic and stated the
feedback that staff is seeking this evening. Peter Damsgaard, with Groth Design Group, first inquired on the
darker or lighter finishes with the Village Board preferring brick and darker finishes with some trustees
preferring a lighter brick than in the rendering. The Board’s preference on orientation of the pavilion described
is the doglegged location over being in line with the pavilion or on the west side of the field. The family restroom
was described since it was added resulting from the last discussion, with board in favor of the updated design. A
grander pavilion, if a donor came forward, was presented with staff inquiring if it should be included in the
bidding process and if the location would change the preferred placement. The board showed preference of the
doglegged positioning and grander pavilion included if a donor comes forward.
Laura Gleason (5524 N. Berkeley Blvd.) inquired about the pavilion being attached to the warming house.
Discussions on this topic from previous meeting were provided to Ms. Gleason.
Ellie Nill (5555 N. Shoreland Ave.) expressed her thoughts on color of the warming house. Ms. Nil shared
concerns with a larger stage and mentioned that we should be targeting to accommodate what we currently
have at the park.
3. Discussion/action on parking meters in District 11 an employee permit parking.
Village Manager, McElroy-Anderson, stated that there were many emails received on this topic which were
shared with board members. Background on the development of this agenda item was presented. Changes that
would take place as of October 1, 2026, were described and it was stated that 30 of the 80 meters are currently
not functioning. Park Mobile contacted the Village today and the meters that are currently working could be
maintained by Park Mobile. The recommendation from the Business Improvement District was described and
discussed. It was suggested to sign the meters that they cannot accept coins and are app only meters. Due to
changes occurring in the business district, it was suggested to wait to see how parking is impacted. It was
mentioned that parking enforcement would require a device to check if the meter has been paid. Inquiring what
the City of Milwaukee is doing to address this situation to align with similar system was recommended. It was
suggested to bag the meters with the cover stating payment is on the app only with QR code. Overall, the Board
was in support of removing meters, but if meters were to be used in the future a Kiosk style system was
preferred. The length of a stopgap option being in place was discussed. The system that the Village of
Shorewood has was described and the cost for that option was mentioned. The board came to a consensus that
a 6 month trial period would commence after Silver Spring is open in both directions and the new stop light is
operational, mentioning start date of January 1, 2027. When changes occur, it was suggested to mail letters to
residents on the 5500 blocks.
Current employee permit parking was described, including the number of permits currently issued noting the
length of the permits. There was mention of changing the permits to a sticker possibly rather than rear-view
mirror hanger. Staff also reviewed the Business Improvement District's (BID) proposal to allow employees with
permits to park for up to 10 hours on the southbound side of designated side streets, with a potential 60-day
trial. Board members discussed concerns regarding residential impacts, driveway access, snow removal,
enforcement, and the actual number of employees needing parking.
The Board also discussed directing employees to unrestricted parking on the 5400 blocks and improving
employee parking maps and communication. The possibility of charging for employee permits was also raised as
a way to encourage employees to park farther from the business district. Further consideration will be given to
these options before any changes are implemented.
Tom Dixon (5573 N Kent Ave) is a business owner of two buildings on Silver Spring. Stated that issue is not
employee parking but rather customers. It is on the business owner to tell employees not to take spaces from
customers. Solving the issue will take business and the Village working together. Mr. Dixon stated he supports
eliminating the meters long-term but does not support 10-hour employee on the 5500 blocks.
Rohita Shah (owner of Mathnasium 5500 block of Diversey/Santa Monica) stated that there is a need to find
spaces for the employees to park. Ms. Shah stated currently her staff often park on Birch Ave. or the 5500 block
of a side street. Demographic of employees were described and safety concerns with lighting and uneven
sidewalks were mentioned.
Tom Harris (Great Frame Up 505) stated that the biggest problem is the parking meters. Stated businesses
should not allow employees to park on Silver Spring. He supports more parking on side streets since employees
have to go back to cars frequently. Cost of employee parking passes was discussed.
The board agreed upon having long-term parking on the 5500 block is not desired, employees can be directed to
the 5400 blocks, and there was overall support to remove meters in the long-term. There was not a desire to
add restrictions to the 5400 blocks, however, there was concern for employees walking after dark. Parking
permits with the sticker system was further discussed.
Steve Bucaro (owner of Elements Salon) provided numbers of employees and clientele stating he tells
employees to not use parking areas that customers park. A solution is needed as the problem is not going away.
Lexie Deblitz (Executive Director of the Business Improvement District) thanked staff for asking the BID’s
opinion. When businesses in the district were surveyed employee parking continued to be the largest concern of
business owners. Constraints with school zones to the north were mentioned and it was noted that an
alternative location for employee parking is needed. As a resident (6249 N. Lydell Ave.), Ms. Deblitz stated that
she resides in an area that also has large influxes of parking and experiences issues similarly to the concerns
brought forward by residents on this topic. The maximum impact on employee parking would be during the
typical business hours, possibly when residents would be at work, the number of employees needing parking in
addition to the 10-hour lot behind the Fox Bay Building was detailed. It was estimated to be 50 to 60 additional
employees needing parking. There was commentary that many employees are in and out to meetings as they
are not retail businesses.
The board summarized tonight’s discussion as maintaining meters on Silver Spring until after Sendik’s is open a
couple of months. During this time, the BID will further assess employee parking needs and explore alternatives,
including potential adjustments to Beaumont lot hours. Staff will determine appropriate signage and
educational materials for the meters. The Board also discussed longer-term parking options, including additional
on- and off-street spaces and potential changes to parking requirements for future developments. No changes
will be made to parking on the 5400 or 5500 blocks at this time.
Elizabeth Lentini (5525 N. Hollywood Ave.) strongly recommends getting information on employee parking and
encouraged education of the option to park in the 5400 blocks without restriction.
Carl Biancuzzo (5536 N. Berkeley Blvd.) emailed about the topic earlier today but stated that he would like to see
more restaurants or other businesses other than a bank. It was suggested to use the lot at Silver Spring and
Lydell for a parking structure, however, that parcel is privately owned.
Sherry Johnston (450 E. Beaumont Ave.) asked the board not to forget Beaumont Ave when considering parking.
Stated that contractors have to park several blocks away.
Tom Gleason (5524 N. Berkeley Blvd.) expressed gratitude to residents and businesses that contributed to this
discussion. Residents want a thriving community but think that employee parking is the issue for residents on
the 5500 blocks near the District.
Pamela Eversfield (5555 N. Diversey Blvd.) expressed concern that employee parking needs should be addressed
without reducing parking availability for customers. She noted that parking near the business district is
frequently occupied by shoppers and customers and emphasized the importance of maintaining convenient
customer parking to support local businesses. Charging for employee parking is reasonable.
Laura Gleason (5524 N. Berkeley Blvd.) feels the build outs of the second and third floor businesses are creating
stress on parking. Business owners have responsibility to provide parking passes for employees.
4. Discussion/action on recommendations from the employee benefits committee.
Village Manager McElroy-Ander provided background on the development of this agenda item. Assistant Village
Manager, Anna Christopherson, and Finance Director, Jaimie Krueger, presented information from the employee
work group meetings. Employee recognition and adding Juneteenth as a holiday were low-cost items. Summer
hours and DPW no lunch were also mentioned. Adding holiday pay within the first 30 Day of hire was proposed.
EAB/Wellness Check-in was discussed. Medium cost employee recognition and lateral transfer benefits were
described. Starting vacation proposal was detailed along with the challenges the current system has presented
were mentioned. Adjusting the current steps in vacation time was presented. Conducting a comprehensive wage
study was recommended.
Village Board supports employee recognition low and medium cost and Juneteenth as a regular holiday with the
addition of New Year’s Eve as a holiday rather than a floating holiday. Summer hours and DPW no lunch were
discussed with support from the Board. Holiday pay within 30 days of hire was also supported by the Board.
EAP/Wellness Check-In was discussed in detailed and agreed upon. Lateral transfer benefits recommendations
and adjustments for current employees were supported. Carry-over with restrictions was discussed.
Comprehensive Wage Study was discussed in detail with the Board preferring to wait to conduct a
comprehensive wage study.

specified business whenever competitive and/or bargaining reasons require a closed session –

property, investing of public funds, conducting other specified business whenever competitive and/or bargaining

Re: 2027 Budget Introduction & Overview
_________________________________________________________________________________
Budget Introduction
The Village has spent the last couple of years creating policy documents to help guide the annual budget
process. These documents are:
Strategic Plan – August 5, 2024
2026-2031 Capital Improvement Plan – September 15, 2025
Financial Management Plan – December 1, 2025
You will receive a copy of the 2027 Recommended Budget around October 15th and the budget workshop
is scheduled for October 26th, but I wanted to highlight a few items that have a significant impact on the
2027 budget. We will discuss the budget in detail on the 26th; however, I highly encourage you to contact
me prior to discuss any budget related items.
Significant Budget Items
• Total levy increase is 2.99%, or $414,015, from 2026 to 2027
• Increase in State Shared Revenue of $11,948 or 2.10%
• Decrease in State Transportation aid of $67,165 or 9.13%
• Includes wage increase for cost of living of 3.5% (in alignment with the 2027 Police Contract)
• Includes 4% increase in medical and dental premium costs
• Remove meters - revenue of $47,280 and expenses of $15,500 for an overall decrease of $31,780.
Note that some expenses were in TID 1 previously, and these dollars only reflect levy expenses.
• $74,400 in one-time implementation fees for BS&A cloud in 2026 not included in 2027 budget
• 22.48% rate increase in the water utility – the Village has been working through a conventional
rate case with Ehlers. There is a public hearing scheduled with the PSC on October 6, 2026.
Net New Construction/Levy Limits Increases
The Village’s net new construction percentage was 0.552%, which means we are allowed to increase our
levy for next year by $60,923 before any adjustments.
Below is a table from the August 10, 2026 meeting updated for the preliminary 2027 budget.

The actual increase includes levy funded debt, as well as North Shore Fire which the Village takes a levy
adjustment for.
Abated debt
The 2026 Budget was the first time the Village has utilized abated debt capacity to supplement for levy
limits. When using abated debt, it is important to focus on items the Village could borrow for in the future,
if necessary, to avoid a structural deficit. We have identified $ 734,136 of available abated debt capacity
and $ 295,626 of that capacity is expected to be used with the 2027 Budget. Therefore, the Village
currently has $438,510 of identified abated debt capacity remaining.

Dear Kelsey:
RE: NSWC Budget Update
The North Shore Water Commission approved an operating budget as well as a capital improvement
budget for 2027 (see enclosures). We have prepared the following information pursuant to Article 6 of
the Revised and Restated Water Supply Agreement.
2027 Annual Operating Commitment
During the budgeting process, the Commission estimated the percentage of water that will be delivered
to each member in 2027. Those percentages were used to allocate the annual operating commitment to
each member as shown below.
Total 2027 Annual Operation Commitment $1,817,300
2025 2026 2027 Difference
Whitefish Bay 34.46% 31.93% 30.50% -1.43% $554,277
Glendale 51.88% $942,815
Fox Point 17.62% $320,208
Allocation to Members
Community Amount
Please note that a monthly payment is due on the first of each month.
2027 Annual Capital Commitment
The capital improvement budget was also approved by the Commission. Provided none of the member
municipalities file a written objection to this budget, it will be considered final and fully approved after
November 1.
Kelsey McElroy-Anderson Page 2
September 9, 2026
Capital expenses are shared by each member based on the percentage of water delivered to each
member over the previous 5 years. The actual allocation percentages cannot be calculated until January
1, 2027. Therefore, the annual commitment was allocated based on delivery volumes from January 1,
2022, through August 31, 2026.
Total Annual Capital Commitment $648,000.00
Allocation to Whitefish Bay (31.39%) $203,450
Allocation to Glendale (50.46%) $326,600
Allocation to Fox Point (18.16%) $117,950
Upon the Commission’s review and approval of capital expenditures, payment requests will be sent to
each member municipality for their share of capital expenses. Payment is due 30 days after a payment
request is approved by the Commission.
We hope you find this information helpful as you prepare the budget for the Village of Whitefish Bay.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or concerns.

Memo to: President Kevin Buckley and the Village Board of Trustees
From: Matthew Collins, Director of Public Works
Re: School Zone Safety Project Construction Administrative Services Contract Agreement
The Village of Whitefish Bay is a multi-modal community with a high-level of pedestrian and bicycle activity compared to
surrounding areas. Many of these pedestrians and bicyclists are school-aged children because Whitefish Bay does not
provide buses to any of its schools. Despite a reduction in overall crashes in recent years, primarily due to recent
temporary and permanent infrastructure projects, Whitefish Bay continues to see pedestrian and bicycle crashes occur.
The core focus on pedestrian safety improvements encompasses school zones. There are eight public and private
schools throughout the community and are encompassed in five distinct school zone areas. Whitefish Bay completed an
engineering study in May of 2022 as well as a Village Wide Bicycle & Pedestrian Study in 2025. The goal is to
substantially reduce the crash risk for walking or riding for some of Whitefish Bay’s most vulnerable road users.
Utilizing the existing 2022 Whitefish Bay School Zone Study maps, the Public Works Committee and the Village Board
voted to approve the Safe School Zone project areas based on a WisDOT TAP Grant award. Based on preliminary cost
estimates, the anticipated funding will allow for the design and construction of four intersections approved by the
Village Board:
• Santa Monica & Belle – Bump out/intersection improvements (Richards Elementary School)
• Santa Monica & Day - Bump out/intersection improvements (Richards Elementary School)
• Beaumont & Santa Monica – Intersection improvements (St. Monica School)
• Ardmore & Hampton – Bump out/intersection improvements (Cumberland Elementary School)
Design and engineering for the school zone intersection improvements are ongoing with 90% design plans completed.
Public feedback and survey results were reviewed and evaluated by the project team during the temporary traffic
calming phase of the project. Final Plans, Specifications and Estimates (PS&E) are anticipated to be completed by
November 1, 2026. Construction is planned for the summer of 2027. The total anticipated construction costs $642,528.
The Village solicited Statements of Qualifications to qualified engineering firms to assist with construction administrative
services for the school zone safety improvements. Four firms responded to the proposal and were evaluated based on
the experience and qualifications of the firm and key personnel, relevant project experience, and project approach.
Based on the rankings, the Village entered into negotiations with the top two firms. The Sigma Group was determined to
be the top ranked firm based on the responsiveness of the proposal as well as the service fees to complete the
requirements of the project. Sigma has worked for the Village on similar projects and offered construction
administrative services to successfully act as the village’s owners representative to execute infrastructure
improvements. Based on the outlined tasks and requirements, Sigma will offer construction administrative services
including:
• Project Management and Reporting
• Bid Assistance
• Pre-Construction Services
• Communication
• Construction Administration & Field Oversight
• Project Closeout
The total anticipated fees for these services amount to $75,385. These fees are within the available project budget and
are comparable with industry standards.
Project Cost Estimate:
• Design: $153,293
• Construction Administrative Services: $75,385
• Construction Estimate: $642,528
• Contingencies (10% construction costs): $64,000
Total Estimated Project Cost = $917,206
Village Budget:
• WisDOT TAP Grant: $497,600
• TID #3: $200,000
• Village: $225,000
Total Anticipated Budget: $922,600

• John Edlebeck, PE; Senior Project Advisor
PROJECT APPROACH
Sigma proposes to provide project management, bid services, public and stakeholder communicaƟon as well as
construcƟon oversight as follows:
Work Element 1 • Project Management & ReporƟng
Sigma presents Ali Maykhan, ConstrucƟon Services Group Leader, as the single point of contact as the Project
Manager to provide ongoing project management throughout the bidding and construcƟon phases. As
idenƟfied in AƩachment A, Mr. Maykhan has extensive project management experience on similar projects. He
will manage all Sigma staff and be responsive to quesƟons and issues throughout the duraƟon of the project.
Mr. Maykhan will review the construcƟon documents and specificaƟons issued for bid to understand and
highlight potenƟal risks or issues that may aff ect project goals and deliverables and communicate that directly
to Village staff. Prior to construcƟon, Mr. Maykhan will schedule a meeƟng including the project designer and
Village staff to discuss and align project understanding of design, traffic control, materials, and standards as
well as the Ɵmeline of deliverables and strategy for quality control.
Based on prior experience with similar projects, anƟcipated issues that may arise include traffic control, detours,
matching exisƟng elevaƟons, compliance with the Americans with Disabili Ɵes Act (ADA), coordina Ɵon of truck
access to minimize disturbance to nearby residents, response to residents’ quesƟons and concerns, u Ɵlity Ɵe-
ins, and uƟlity conflicts. Throughout the remainder of the Project, Sigma has strategies in place to minimize these
disrupƟons, and further miƟgaƟon will be developed in cooperaƟon with the Village and project team.
Work Element 2 • Bid Assistance
Fo
llowing the project kicko ff mee Ɵng, Sigma will prepare the Invita Ɵon to Bid package, which will include
construcƟon documents, Village standards, and project specificaƟons. The Sigma team will adverƟse the project
to a wide array of qualifi ed bidders. Under M r. Maykhan’s purview, Sigma will answer perspec Ɵve bidder
quesƟons and issue addenda as they arise, coordinaƟng with the design firm, contractors, Village staff, and other
stakeholders. Following the bid opening, Sigma will review the bids received and make formal recommendaƟons
to award the contract, assisƟng the Village and project team with contract award documents and noƟficaƟons.

Work Element 3 • Pre-ConstrucƟon
In coordina Ɵon with appropriate agencies, such as the Wisconsin Department of Transporta Ɵon (WisDOT),
Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (WDNR), contractors, subcontractors, Village sta ff, public and
private school administrators and other stakeholders, Sigma will host a pre-construc Ɵon meeƟng to review the
project scope, schedule, traffic control, safety issues and communica Ɵon plans. During the meeƟng, Sigma will
record mee Ɵng minutes for distribu Ɵon a Ōer the mee Ɵng concludes. Contractors’ submi Ʃals will also be
reviewed by the Sigma team for approval at this Ɵme.
Work Element 4 • CommunicaƟon
Weekly
construcƟon project meeƟngs, led by Sigma, will update the contractor and Village staff on the contents
of the project daily reports and weekly inspecƟons. These meeƟngs will determine the contents of public-
facing communicaƟon, coordinated by Sigma Vice President Christopher Carr, PE who is a resident of Whitefish
Bay and familiar with local community needs and communicaƟon preferences. Phased traffic control plans will
be implemented with consideraƟon for Village residents and developed with the contractor. Electronic
publicaƟons regarding phased traffic control impacts to vehicles, cyclists, and pedestrians will be produced and
distributed in a Ɵmely manner, also overseen by Christopher Carr.
Work Element 5 • ConstrucƟon Adminis traƟon & Field Oversight
Regular site visits and reports will be conducted to confirm accuracy, quality, progress, and site safety. ReporƟng,
described in the following paragrap h, will support Sigma ’s ability to ensure compliance with WisDOT
TransportaƟon AlternaƟves Program (TAP) grants, all permits, and grant award documents.
Sigma sta ff uƟlize Trimble ProjectSight so Ōware to produce daily reports, including photographs, to record
construcƟon acƟviƟes, contractor labor and equipment, and completed bid item quan ƟƟes. Daily reports also
include fi eld observa Ɵons of construc Ɵon and materials in comparison to as-built informa Ɵon and Village
standards, along with the material delivery Ɵme, quanƟƟes, installaƟon, and inspec Ɵon. These are an Ɵcipated
to include sewer structures, aggregate types, pavement mix designs, and related materials. Daily tracking for all
quanƟƟes will support an efficient approval process for monthly pay applicaƟons, managed by Sigma and based
on the work completed. All recorded field data will be made accessible to the Village in real Ɵme. Pay requests
and change orders will be coordinated by Sigma with recommendaƟons to the Village issued.
AddiƟonally, Sigma’s team will perform a weekly erosion control inspecƟon and addiƟonal inspecƟons following
weather precipitaƟon events, keeping the Village and contractor abreast of needed correcƟve measures. Sigma
will conduct weekly traffic control inspecƟons in order to no Ɵfy the Village and contractor of enhancements to
traffic control signage that would benefit the project and protect the community.
Any deviaƟons or changes approved by the Village/project team will be documented during construcƟon via field
measurements by the Sigma inspecƟo n team in support of t he creaƟon of as-built drawing to be delivered at
closeout in a GIS ready format. This prac Ɵce eliminates missing informa Ɵon during review of contractor-
submiƩed as-built drawings, saving Ɵme and establishing clear informaƟon.

Work Element 6 • Project Closeout
Sigma will coordinate the final walk-through for all proposed project locaƟons, creaƟng a punchlist itemizing all
deficiencies. Before final sign-off, Sigma will collect warranƟes, operaƟonal manuals, and any addiƟonal as-built
drawings from the contractor. In coordina Ɵon with Village sta ff, Sigma will provide WisDOT project closeout
according to TAP grant requirements. Drawing upon our internal geographic informaƟon systems (GIS) specialists,
Sigma will develop GIS shape files to upload to the Village’s GIS system, detailing updates to u ƟliƟes and other
infrastructure within project boundaries. To support the Village in submi ƫng warranty claims within the
warranty period, Sigma will record warranty Ɵmelines for all work performed and outlined within the project’s
specificaƟons. The items will all be completed to support the November 30, 2027, project compleƟon date.
Sigma has successfully provided construcƟon administra Ɵon and oversight for the White fish Bay Silver Spring

Chris Carr brings 25 years of experience with civil engineering management and consulting
for municipal, commercial, and industrial clients. As a leader of The Sigma Group, he guides
the survey, civil, facility, and construction management service providers through
successful projects from bou ndary marking and due diligen ce through development and
closeout. Chris coordinates his teams with developers and owners, aligning project goals,
strategizing through challenges, and seizing opportunities for innovation and efficiency.
Many of his municipal projects are advantaged by close involvement with the communities
which sponsor and will benefit from completed projects.
REPRESENTATIVE EXPERIENCE
South Shore Park Planning & Site Development – Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
Chris supported the City of Milwaukee in re development of South Shore Park by leading
the planning and design of green infrastructure and civil engineering for foot and vehicle
traffic improvements. Poor water quality was a significant challenge for the park, and the
integrated parking lot and marina redesign employed stormwater management to reduce
runoff. The bioremediation layout is seam lessly embedded into the driving areas and
pedestrian promenades and sidewalks. Milw aukee’s cycling community, the South Shore
Yacht Club, members of the neighborhood, and other park users were key participants to
establish concepts for project design and construction.
Site Development for Milwaukee County Zoo West Entrance – Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
Chris served as the project manager for phases of this project, primarily concerned with
reconstructing the Interchange and West En trance of the Milwaukee County Zoo. To
compensate for parking capacity with the re designed roadways, Chris’s team performed
preliminary engineering to evaluate optimal tr affic flow layout options for the parking lot
and entrance, estimate earthwork volumes, locate utility services, provide preliminary
construction cost estimates, advance to final design, and perform construction
administration services. Additionally, stormwat er infrastructure was integrated into the
parking lot, using a bioretention basin and we t detention basin in conjunction to achieve
nearly 360,000 gallons of stormwater storage. The final parking lot added 525 spaces.
Civil Engineering Support for Department of Administration Projects – Verona, East
Waupun & Sturtevant, Wisconsin.
Under Chris’s leadership, the survey and preliminary engineering portions of DOA projects
progressed significant developments at various facilities. He supported the 12,000-sf hay
storage building replacement at the West Madison Agricultural Research Station, 2,400-sf
vehicle maintenance shop construction at Fox Lake Farm, and the 1,150-GSF greenhouse
construction and utility coordination at the Sturtevant Transitional Facility.
