Correspondence: none
President and Trustee Comments: none
Citizens Comments:
Administrator Hurley read aloud the citizen comment guidelines.
Gregg Sinnen, 750 Green Bay Road
Mr. Sinnen addressed the proposed meeting schedule change, agenda item #11. He acknowledged there
could be benefits to reducing meetings but expressed concerns about potential negative impacts, including
longer agendas, extended meeting times, and delays for developers working under tight timelines. He
emphasized the importance of trustees and staff addressing questions prior to meetings to avoid
unnecessarily lengthy discussions during meetings.
Mr. Sinnen noted that reducing meetings to once per month could lead to meetings becoming more
contentious or difficult due to the increased volume of agenda items. He encouraged the Board to
carefully evaluate the pilot program and review what worked well and what did not at its conclusion.
He also expressed concern regarding public comment periods, stating that with fewer meetings, more
residents may wish to speak at each meeting, potentially adding significant time to already lengthy
sessions. He referenced prior instances where public comment times were reduced to accommodate larger
numbers of speakers and cautioned against limiting public participation.
Additionally, Mr. Sinnen stated he supports trustees notifying staff in advance about questions they intend
to ask, but he emphasized that those questions and answers should still be discussed publicly during
3
meetings so residents can hear the discussion and understand the reasoning behind decisions. He
concluded by thanking the Board for their service.
Ted Terletzky, 9015 12th Street
Mr. Terletzky expressed appreciation for a Board member’s research into past subdivision developments,
stating the information was helpful and informative to residents. He raised concerns regarding proposed
subdivisions, including Mastercraft, Maplecrest, and Goldmark, questioning why variances are frequently
granted when Village ordinances already establish subdivision standards such as lot sizes and curb and
gutter requirements.
Mr. Terletzky also expressed concern regarding the proposed meeting schedule changes under agenda
item 11, stating that residents often feel decisions are substantially made before matters reach Village
Board meetings. He referenced ongoing discussions between developers and the Village prior to public
meetings and emphasized the importance of maintaining meaningful opportunities for public input.
Additionally, he requested that public comments be allowed during work sessions if the Village moves to
a reduced meeting schedule. He suggested limiting comments to the specific agenda item being discussed
so residents can provide input earlier in the process, particularly on development-related matters. He
concluded by encouraging the Board to continue providing residents with opportunities to have their
voices heard throughout the decision-making process.
Sharon Janusz 8730 12
th Street
Ms. Janusz spoke about concerns related to the Highway E water project, sewer planning, and increased
development activity in the area. She described ongoing issues with village communications, including
repeated attempts to correct her mailing address and difficulty obtaining project documents.
She expressed concern about the high cost of the water project being placed on local taxpayers and
questioned whether better planning could have reduced the financial impact. She also discussed receiving
a letter requesting a sewer easement on her property, later learning the easement may not actually affect
her parcel, which caused confusion and frustration.
She then raised concerns about heavy truck traffic, construction noise, and future impacts from
developments such as MasterCraft and proposed housing projects. She questioned why alternative truck
routes were not being used and asked what steps the board is taking to protect the quality of life for
residents as development continues.
Action on proposed Resolution No. 2026-013, Authorizing Submittal of CMAR Report to the
Wisconsin DNR
Trustee Ostby moved to approve proposed Resolution No. 2026-013, Authorizing Submittal of CMAR
Report to the Wisconsin DNR

Action on Change Order #1 for the 12th Street Watermain Project to Replace Bid Set Drawings
with the Construction Set Dated 3-17-2026
Trustee Aupperle moved to approve Change Order #1 for the 12th Street Watermain Project to Replace
Bid Set Drawings with the Construction Set Dated 3-17-2026.
Seconded by Trustee Fredrick
Trustee Harbach asked Village Engineer Doug Synder for clarification regarding a proposed change order
related to the water main project. Trustee Harbach questioned why changing from an open-cut water main
installation to directional drilling resulted in an additional cost of approximately $52,000.
Doug explained that the directional drilling itself accounted for approximately $28,620 of the increase,
while the remaining costs were associated with having to excavate deeper than anticipated to avoid
existing sewer laterals. He stated that additional excavation, disposal of unsuitable material, and imported
granular backfill were necessary to prevent damaging the sewer laterals or relocation of sections of water
main.
When asked whether the depth of the sewer laterals had been known beforehand, Doug stated that the
available records provided by public works staff did not contain elevation information identifying the
depth of the laterals.
Trustee Ostby asked Doug whether he anticipated any additional change orders related to the project.
Doug responded that he did not foresee any further change orders at this time.

Seconded by Trustee Nelson
Administrator Hurley added that he had included two recommendations in his memo for the board’s
consideration. First, he suggested allowing public comment during work sessions to provide residents
with two opportunities each month to address the board. Second, he noted that if urgent matters arise, the
board always has the option to schedule a special meeting during the additional week in the monthly
schedule.
Motion carried. 6-0 vote

Transportation Funding Solution
Trustee Aupperle moved to approve Building Standards for Duplex Condominium Homes
Seconded by Trustee Ostby Motion carried. 6-0 vote
Motion to adopt Village Board Ordinance 2026-002, Worthless Payment Charge; Overpayments
Trustee Aupperle moved to approve Ordinance 2026-002, Worthless Payment Charge, Overpayments.
Seconded by Trustee Harbach
The Administrator noted that similar ordinances are in place in Kenosha County and the Village of
Pleasant Prairie, with minor variations in refund thresholds. Under the proposed ordinance, individuals
would have 90 days to review their account and request a refund of any overpayment.
Board discussion included suggestions to communicate the ordinance to taxpayers through tax bill inserts
and the municipal website to ensure public awareness.
Members also discussed year-end reconciliation and budgeting considerations to ensure that any collected
funds are properly accounted for and reflected transparently in financial reporting.
Concerns were raised regarding the legal implications of retaining overpaid funds and the potential for
future legal challenges. It was noted that legal counsel could be asked to review the ordinance for any
concerns.
Motion carried. 6-0 vote

Elevator Corporation for $3,661.62.

Re: Comments and Objection to Section 151 Request to Acquire Land in Trust for
Gaming for the Proposed Menominee Indian Tribe Hard Rock Casino Project proposed
to be located in Kenosha, Wisconsin
Dear Mr. Wilkins,
On behalf of the Village & Town of Somers ( “Somers”), we submit these comments in
response to the Bureau of Indian Affairs notice regarding the request of the Menominee
Indian Tribe to acquire the subject property in trust for gaming purposes.
According to the U.S. Department of Interior Bureau of Indian Affairs (“BIA”) letter, Case
Number 50694, the subject property (the “Property”), consists of four (4) parcels (Tax
Parcel Numbers: 03-121-01-101-101, 03-121-01-101-102, 03-121- 01-101-422 and 03-121-
01-101-0423), of approximately 59 acres in total land area, and is generally located in the
southwest quadrant of I-94 and County Trunk Highway K in the City of Kenosha, Wisconsin.
Background
Somers respectfully objects to the proposed acquisition of the Property for the
development of the Menominee Indian Tribe Hard Rock Casino Project (the “Project”) and
requests that the BIA fully consider the substantial adverse impacts to Somers that are
reasonably foreseeable from the Project.
Somers is adjacent to the City of Kenosha and the Project site is in close proximity to the
municipal boundary of the Village & Town. Particularly, the site is directly across from the
Town of Somers at 120th Avenue (E Frontage Road) and 60th Avenue, which includes Ukes
Harley Davidson, a popular destination with a 3,000-square-foot museum of vintage bikes,
a 70-foot display tower, and a 60,000-square-foot facility.
Somers will experience the following negative environmental, social and economic
impacts:
24
• The stormwater study should consider impacts of increased runoff on the Pleasant
Prairie Mobile Home Park (11703 60TH ST), which is in the Town of Somers. Somers is
concerned that existing flooding issues will be exacerbated by the development.
• Increased traffic on Somers roadways and to the overall (and regional)
transportation systems. Given there is no gas station near the Highway 158 exit in Kenosha,
the closest options north of the proposed site for gas and convenience stores along the I-
94 corridor will be at Hwy S/142 and Hwy E in Somers.
• Increased use of Somers roadways will result in greater calls for public safety
services, and strain funding for roadway maintenance.
• Overall negative effect on social and socio-economic costs to the overall
community.
At the same time, Somers is not a party to the intergovernmental agreements that were
described three (3) years ago in 2023 for the City of Kenosha and the County of Kenosha
and Somers is not positioned to receive revenue sharing or other direct offsets to cover the
increased costs and risks that would be imposed on our community.
If this project moves forward, then we urge the revenue sharing agreement to be expanded
to include the Village & Town of Somers.
Information Requested by the BIA
To the extent the BIA requests specific fiscal and service information, the Village provides
the following.
• Annual property taxes currently levied on the subject property allocated to
Somers. The Property is located in the jurisdiction of the City of Kenosha. Somers
levies no taxes on the Property.
• Special assessments currently assessed against the property in support of
Somers. The Property is located in the jurisdiction of the City of Kenosha. Somers
has no special assessments assessed against the Property.
• Governmental services currently provided to the property by Somers: The
Property is located in the jurisdiction of the City of Kenosha. However, Somers has a
Mutual aid agreement with the City of Kenosha, including the MABAS agreement,
that could require Somers Fire/EMS Services to the Casino.
• Zoning consistency: The Property is located in the jurisdiction of the City of
Kenosha; therefore, the City provides the zoning services, designations and
regulations for the Property. However, Somers respectfully request that the BIA
evaluate whether the intended casino use is consistent with surrounding land uses
25
and applicable zoning and land use standards, including compatibility with nearby
residential areas and established community destinations.
Fiscal Impacts and Unfunded Local Costs
The Village requests that the BIA evaluate the full fiscal impact on Somers, including the
shift of costs to Village taxpayers without a corresponding revenue source.
A major 24-hour gaming and entertainment complex is reasonably expected to increase
demand for public safety and emergency response. Somers supports regional response
through mutual aid and interjurisdictional frameworks. The BIA should evaluate how
increased service demand and associated costs will be mitigated for neighboring
communities that are not receiving direct revenue sharing.
Transportation and Traffic Impacts on Somers
The Village requests that the BIA evaluate traffic impacts on the regional transportation
network, not solely the immediate, local site access roads, including but not limited to:
• I 94 Exit 337, County/State Trunk Highway KR / 195
• I 94 Exit 339, County Trunk Highway E
• I 94 Exit 340, County/State Trunk Highway S / 142
• I 94 Exit 342, State Trunk Highway 158
Stormwater, Retention, and Watershed Concerns
Somers has serious concerns regarding stormwater retention and detention planning and
the potential for increased flooding and erosion impacts. The Project location is under the
stormwater management regulations for the Des Plaines River Watershed, which are more
stringent and more intensive than other Village/City of Kenosha watershed management
regulations. The stormwater management for the Project will need to be designed in
accordance with the most recent regulations. Somers request that the BIA require a clear
demonstration that stormwater design will meet applicable standards and watershed
criteria intended to protect already stressed water resources and to prevent adverse
downstream impacts.
Land Use Compatibility and Community Character
The proposed casino and associated facilities would introduce intensive 24-hour use
adjacent to established residential areas and existing community destinations. The Village
26
is concerned that the scale, intensity, and operational characteristics of the Project are
incompatible with the character and land use patterns of the surrounding area and will
create adverse, negative impacts that extend beyond the host jurisdiction.
Request for Full Consideration and Mitigation
For the reasons above, Somers request the following:
Somers respectfully request that the BIA deny the fee to trust acquisition for gaming
purposes or, at minimum, require comprehensive analysis and enforceable mitigation
addressing:
• Regional traffic impacts at I-94 Exits 337, 339, 340, 342 and connecting corridors.
• Public safety and emergency response demand and funding.
• Stormwater retention, detention, and downstream watershed impacts.
• Fiscal impacts on Somers, including loss of tax base and increased service costs.
Village & Town of Somers taxpayers cannot be held fiscally responsible for the additional
public service requirements necessary to support public safety and safe travel through
Somers. Hence, the Village & Town of Somers should be included in the revenue sharing
agreement to offset the costs of additional services.
Please include this letter in the administrative record for Section 151 “Request to Move
Land into Trust for Gaming” .
Respectfully submitted,

Good morning,
I know both of you are underway on completing the inspections for the alcohol
permits.
Also, there will be 3 establishments that will be applying for a recurring
special event as well. Hawthorn Hollow, Pets, and Jerry Smith’s. I will be bringing
these special events to the board on April 21st. If you could let me know if you did an
inspection on any of these establishments before then, I would appreciate it.
Also, I’ve attached an updated list of alcohol licenses. I think Somers Market and I-94
LLC was not on the list I originally sent you.
Thank you both for your help.

Damage to Savannah of Pikes Creek Construction site
The Savannah construction site also had its office trailer flipped
over during the storm. Another item of note is the job site had a
massive amount of blue insulation paneling blown away in the
storm which all ended up east of Hwy 31 in the tree line and the
construction company had a crew out there at 7AM the next
morning picking it all up.

Takeaways and lessons learned from this event.
1. We learned that the tornado siren at the Village Hall did not function, and this
was reported to the Kenosha County Emergency Management Team who owns
and operates the sirens.
2. We learned that in a disaster like this with so many trees and power lines down
our Fire Department UTVs played a crucial role in accessing areas a normal
vehicle could not get to. Drone was also a valuable tool in an event like this.
3. Coordination of all agencies involved is crucial to operational success
a. While a sheriff sergeant and I were able to run unified command on this
event, had it been much bigger we would have needed representatives
from County Highway, Somers Public Works, Village Administration,
Village elected officials and We Energies at the command post or an
Emergency Operations Center.
b. Fire Departments and Sheriff’s office train on unified command regularly
but we need more involvement from others.
4. We need to work on a more reliable contact and communication plan within our
Village.
5. We need to work on redundancies to critical infrastructure controls that we have
at the village hall in the event the village hall is destroyed or inaccessible.
6. I plan work on establishing an available resource list for our community in case
of another disaster and below are a few items of higher priority on my list.
a. Light towers for illuminating large areas without power besides those
mounted on fire engines.
b. Access to additional heavy equipment for clearing debris.
c. Agreements with local schools or churches to use their buildings as
shelters if needed.
