FROM: JASON DZWINEL, COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR
SUBJECT: 2026 PROJECT PROPOSAL PROCESS
DATE: 12/12/2025
BACKGROUND
Through the 2026 Budget Process, the Board and Staff identified funds to be reserved for projects funded
through a Request for Proposal process submitted by departments. The current amount of funding
available is approximately $1,750,000 in 2026. Additional funding could be available in 202 6, after the
2025 financial closeout. A county policy adopted in 2018, allows the County Board to add up to fifty
percent of the year-end surplus to the project fund. In an effort to decrease the amount of annual deferral
of necessary projects. One of the goals established by the Board and Staff is better capital asset and one-
time project planning, and part of this involves finding a regular source of funds for these projects. There
is significant pressure on using the base tax levy to fund regular operations, and this leaves little tax levy
available for capital assets or one-time projects.
PROCESS
In 2019, the Executive Committee met and approved a concept for staff to design and implement a Project
Proposal Process, which will c ontinue in 2026. With this input from the Executive Committee, Staff has
finalized an evaluation process intending to prioritize projects into various quartiles. The evaluation is
based on a set of criterion established by the Executive Committee and Sta ff. The evaluation places less
emphasis on a hard 1 through 30 ranking of projects and more emphasis on putting projects into a
quadrant that highlights the impact of the project. This allows the Board and Staff to focus less on rankings
and understand the general priority of all projects.
PROCESS REQUIREMENTS AND ELIGIBILITY
The intention of this funding is to provide an opportunity for Departments that are typically unable to
fund their projects using tax levy during the annual budget process. Funding is available to Departments
within the rules and eligibility highlighted below:
1. Projects are tax levy supported. Projects could use Enterprise or Special Revenue funds to offset
some of the tax levy, but overall the project would not be completed without tax levy investment.
2. Projects can be capital (example: replacement of existing as set, purchase of new asset, new
building/service, etc.) or a one-time project that is not capital related (consulting services
studying operations, innovation, business process improvement, etc.). Projects could include
both components.
3. The number of projects requested is up to the discretion of departments. This includes any
projects that a department has submitted in prior requests during a budget process. It should

also include any projects the department has not submitted in the past because they might have
assumed it would not be approved due to the constant deferral of projects in prior budget
processes.
4. Projects should be in the near -term of the County’s 5 -year CIP plan. Projects shoul d be shovel
ready for start and completion within the next 2 years.
5. Consult with Administration if you have any questions about projects you are considering.

Project purpose ‐ Project addresses a recognized
problem and/or need that is supported by data or
information. Project links back to departmental
strategy, service.
Quality of Life ‐ Proposal leads to a positive impact on
customer's improving quality of life.
Customer Satisfaction ‐ Proposal satisfies customer
need or request.

VALUE AND EFFICIENCY
Percentage of Project Budget expended ‐ Project's
percentage of available budget. Inverse score to
project cost.
Operational Budget Impact ‐ Net of project revenues
and ongoing operational expenses.
Health and Safety ‐ Impacts of potential health
hazards, public safety, and risk to citizens and
employees will be addressed by this project.
Project Urgency ‐ Project need is imminent, consider
risk of delay.
Modernization ‐ Proposals include innovative
solutions and/or leverages technology or partnerships
to improve business processes. Project maintains or
enhances existing assets.
This is a measurement of input and the scarcity of resources. Assumption is that the project fund is limited and due to scarcity projects requiring a higher percentage of the total
budget limits the ability to fund project in the current year or future funding cycles.
This is a measurement of how the project will impact the operational budget. Projects creating efficiencies, revenue streams, cost savings and with limited risk should score well on
the operational budget impact scale.
This is a measurement of the project's impact on health and safety, public, environmental and risk mitigation.
This is a measurement the level of need for project completion. Consideration should be given to the impact of project delay, legal requirements, the viability of project alternatives.
This is a measurement of the project's innovation, how it was selected over other viable alternative, and how it leverages partnerships.
Consideration should be given to the needs of the service population, as well as, how the customer requests of the project or service. Customers include both the internal and
external persons served.
Consideration should be given to the departmental mission and how the project will impact specific measures of quality of life under the mission.
Assess the quality of the proposal, the consideration of alternatives and the final recommendation.

Project Name: Justice Center Public Elevator Update
Project Manager: Ryan Tackes
Project Budget Estimate:
Source Amount Grant Info
2026 Capital Project Fund $275,000 N/A
TOTAL $275,000
Project Score: Value and Efficiency (350/400) Modernization and Service (230/400)
Project Purpose Summary (from department):
Update the Public Elevator operating controls, hydraulic power unit and update the elevator
car to meet current building code. MEI Elevator who holds the maintenance contract for the
elevator informed me that the controls are obsolete and no longer available. The parts that are
available are very expensive and most likely used. The elevator is currently fully operational
and safe.
Proposal Considerations, Risks, and Identified Issues:
This project scored relatively well, due to the obsolescence of the elevator parts, and difficulty
in repairing/maintain the aging elevator, and the public nature of the elevator, and the desire to
bring the elevator up to code.
Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends consideration of funding for the Justice Center Public Elevator Update.

Agenda Item Information Sheet
To: PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE
From: Jon Edgren, Public Works Director
Meeting Date: February 19, 2026
Department/Office: Highway Department
Item Name: CTH T (Lakefield Road) Speed Limit
Summary:
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
Based upon a resident’s request to reduce the speed limit of CTH T (Lakefield Road) from 45 MPH to 35 MPH, a
speed study was conducted along CTH T from Struck Lane to Green Bay Road, which is in the Towns of Cedarburg
and Grafton and becomes Portland Road in the City of Cedarburg.
A speed study consists of the Highway Department deploying their radar recorder in multiple locations in the study
area in order to obtain the number of passing vehicles and their travel speed data. Upon completion, the data is
presented to the Traffic Safety Commission (TSC).
The speed study, presented to the TSC in July of 2025 (attached), showed good compliance with the 45 MPH speed
limit as 85% of the vehicles were going 49 MPH or less. Therefore, the TSC made no changes.
At October’s TSC meeting, City of Cedarburg Police Chief Michael McNerney, along with other City Officers and
several residents that live along this stretch of highway, asked for reconsideration of the speed limit reduction. After
discussion regarding their concerns and the original speed study, no changes were made.
At January’s TSC meeting Chief McNerny, along with County Board Supervisor Jack Arnett and City Council
Member Amanda Didier, asked for reconsideration of the speed limit reduction or at least to forward the item onto
the Public Works Committee. After discussion and no motion to approve a speed limit change, the item was
approved to be forwarded to the Public Works Committee with no recommendation.
Historically, the TSC has followed the 85th Percentile Rule when reviewing speed limits. The Wisconsin
Department of Transportation (WisDOT) Traffic Engineering, Operations & Safety Manual (Chapter 13 – Traffic
Regulations, Section 5 – Speed Limits) describes the philosophy as follows:
It has been found that motorists are generally capable of determining the driving speed that is reasonable for
prevailing road and traffic conditions unless there are some roadway conditions that they are unaware of or which
are not readily apparent and that the majority will subsequently adjust their speed accordingly. The 85th percentile
speed, the speed at or below which 85% of the vehicles travel a particular roadway, has been found to best represent
this perceived "reasonable" speed. The MUTCD Section 2B.13 states “when a speed limit is to be posted,
it should be within 5 MPH of the 85th percentile speed of free-flowing traffic.” This practice promotes safety as
research shows the lowest risk of being involved in a crash occurs at approximately the 85th percentile speed (see
“Setting the Speed Limit” in the Wisconsin Statewide Speed Management Guidelines, June 2009). The practice also
promotes voluntary speed limit compliance as the majority of drivers would be anticipated to observe the limit. A
third benefit of posting speed limits close to the 85th percentile speed is the ability to target law enforcement efforts
toward the limited number of motorists that speed.
Unreasonably low speed limits, also called irrational speed limits, are not effective in changing driver behavior and
have several negative effects. Research shows that drivers do not reduce their speed to the posted limit on the basis
Page 23 of 56
of signage alone (ITE Journal, 2004, “The Effectiveness of Transitional Speed Zones.”). While irrational speed
limits do not result in desired driver behavior, resulting negative effects include higher financial cost due to need for
increased enforcement, higher potential for crashes due to larger variability in vehicle speeds, and encouragement of
motorist disregard of other, rational posted speed limits. Irrationally low speed limits also promote a false sense of
security among residents and pedestrians who may expect that posting lower limits will change drivers’ speed
behavior.
Therefore the TSC has historically recommended speed limit reductions only if speeds are aligned with the 85th
Percentile Speeds.
ANALYSIS:
In short, I continue to stand by my recommendation for no changes due to the compliance with the existing speed
limit. However, there were a couple additional items brought up that I can also address.
First, given that we would be looking to lower the speed limit more than 10 MPH than the Wisconsin State Statutory
55 MPH speed limit, the Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) would need to review an engineering
and traffic investigation to determine if the reduction is an acceptable proposed speed limit. I do not believe that
WisDOT would approve the reduction given their typical adherence to the 85th Percentile Limits.
Next, Chief McNerney has presented a couple different City speed studies on Portland Road, which is the extension
of CTH T west of Struck Lane, that showed hundreds of vehicles at least 15 MPH over the 25 MPH speed limit.
However, reviewing the data, that’s only 2% of the total vehicles travelling in the area and the latest study showed
75% of the vehicles going over 40 MPH were going eastbound, which is the transition point to our 45 MPH speed
limit.
Also, as the 45 MPH speed limit is currently aligned with traffic speeds, lowering the speed limit could simply
create a necessary enforcement zone if vehicles continue to go 48 to 49 MPH, but the speed limit is now 35 MPH.
Finally, as for safety, there have been no reported accidents in this stretch of highway except for two (2) vehicles
that ran off the road and left the scene since 2017. Therefore, my concern is attempting to lower the speed limit will
create a situation with more unsafe passing as some vehicles will strictly follow a lower speed limit causing faster
vehicles to pass.
Recommended Action:
Direct Public Works Director Edgren as discussed.

From: Jon Edgren, Public Works Director
Meeting Date: February 19, 2026
Department/Office: Highway Department
Item Name: CTH W Engineering & Right-of-Way Acquisition Amendments
Summary:
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
Ozaukee County is entering the final design phase of the CTH W (STH 33 to Schowalter Drive) Reconstruction
project, which utilizes funds through the Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) Local Road
Improvement – Supplementary (LRIP-S) and County Highway Improvement – Supplementary (CHI-S) programs.
The project was awarded for design to raSmith in February of 2021 and right-of-way (ROW) acquisition to CORRE
in June of 2023. The original construction was anticipated for 2023, but it was pushed to 2026 while seeking
additional grant funding and the desire to work with Ozaukee County’s Planning & Parks Department.
Recently, as part of a required Archeological Investigation, findings have required the shifting of the proposed
oxbow drainage feature significantly east out of the proposed extended ROW and permanent easement. Therefore,
we requested proposals for re-doing the Plat, Relocation Order and Appraisal to obtain a much larger portion of the
Solomon Parcel (Parcel #12).
The following proposals were submitted (attached):
1. raSmith: Updated Plat & Relocation Order - $2,200
2. CORRE: Updated Appraisal and Acquisition Process - $5,800
TOTAL: $8,000
ANALYSIS:
The estimated cost for the updated Plat & Relocation Order are acceptable, and the costs for the ROW Acquisition
are slightly higher than the original contract but reasonable given the nature of obtaining a single parcel.
We anticipate being responsible for roughly 20% of the $8,000 amendments, which would be about $1,600.
Recommended Action:
Approve raSmith’s Design Amendment and CORRE’s ROW Acquisition Amendment for the CTH W
Reconstruction project for $8,000.

We hereby agree to amend our original Agreement executed on 4/22/24 as outlined below:
A. SCOPE OF SERVICES
With the lat est layout and design of the Oxbow, additional land acquisitions (through easement
and/or purchase) will be required. This should just relate to one property , initially owned by Mary
Ann Solomon. In order to accommodate the additional need for land, an updated relocation order
and right of way plat will be necessary. We will provide a new title (if necessary), update the
relocation order and prepare an updated right of way plat. We will work with the County Parks
division to confirm the final amount of land needed and then update the aforementioned items.
B. COMPLETION SCHEDULE
We will provide an updated plat and relocation order within 3-4 weeks (pending title if needed).
C. PROFESSIONAL FEES
We will provide these updates for a lump sum fee of $2,200. We will create a new phase and bill
this item separately.
The current contract fee is $157,649 and with these fees the new estimated contract would be
$159,849.
D. ACCEPTANCE
The above fees and specifications of this Amendment to Agreement are satisfactory and are hereby
accepted. All work is to be performed under the same terms and conditions as specified in the

Department/Office: Highway Department
Item Name: Trailer Purchase
Summary:
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
Shop Superintendent Scott Palubiski recently brought up concerns over some Highway trailers
that are in poor condition and are on the verge of being overloaded at times. Therefore, he has
requested to purchase a new trailer with higher weight limitations and a tilt deck for easier
loading.
As part of the 2026 Highway Department Budget, the Public Works Committee approved
various equipment purchases in January that ended up being roughly $190,000 under budget, so
we would like to move forward with the purchase utilizing those savings.
The proposed purchase would replace a 2005 Redihaul trailer that’s in poor condition with a bad
deck and rusty, and is difficult to load. The Redihaul trailer would be traded in or sold.
ANALYSIS:
Shop Superintendent Scott Palubiski sought quotes for multiple trailers, and received the
following quotes:
Model Supplier Cost
Felling FT-16DDPT Felling $16,650
*Diamond C Trailer HXD Brugginks $17,500
Trail King TKT16U Airing Equip $20,200
*RECOMMENDED PURCHASE
Shop Superintendent Palubiski prefers the Diamond C Trailer HXD due to a higher hauling
weight capacity (18,000 Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) versus 15,000 GVW for the Felling) for a
slightly higher cost. Therefore, Highway Department staff recommends the Diamond C Trailer
HXD from Brugginks for $17,500.
Recommended Action:
Approve the Diamond C Trailer HXD from Brugginks for $17,500 as recommended by staff.

Item Name: Resolution: Town Road Bridge Aid for Town of Saukville's Cedar Sauk Road Bridge
Summary:
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
Wisconsin State Statute 82.08 – Town Bridges or Culverts; Construction and Repair; County Aid
(attached) provides Townships with a method to assist in the reconstruction of larger culverts or
bridges by obtaining reimbursement of 50% of construction related costs from their County. The
County’s portion will be levied against Town parcels within the County.
Section (2)(b) does allow for County’s to refuse these petitions, but only if the County Board
hasn’t granted County Bridge Aid previously. However, Ozaukee County has approved County
Bridge Aid at various times, so I believe that there is no ability to decline the request.
In this particular case, the Town of Saukville is planning to replace the Cedar Sauk Road Bridge
(P45-0907), which is 3,000-ft east of County Trunk Highway (CTH) I.
The total estimated construction cost is $790,500, but the Town has received a Wisconsin
Department of Transportation (WisDOT) grant to cover 80% of the costs, which would leave the
Town of Saukville with an estimated cost of $158,900. The Town of Saukville has requested
Ozaukee County to split their share of the cost, which would have Ozaukee County cover
$79,450.
Attached is the Town of Saukville’s petition.
ANALYSIS:
Given Ozaukee County’s past Town Road Bridge Aid approvals, attached is the proposed
resolution directing the set-aside of funds for the Town of Saukville’s request. Per Wisconsin
Statute 82.08(2), the funds should be set aside in a separate account administered by the
Highway Department for future payment.
However, the Town of Saukville is planning for replacement of the Cedar Sauk Road Bridge in
2028, so the funds won’t need to be set aside until the 2028 Budget.
Recommended Action:
Approve the Town of Saukville’s Town Road Bridge Aid request for Cedar Sauk Road Bridge,
Page 34 of 56
and forward to the Ozaukee County Board for approval.

TOWN OF SAUKVILLE
RESOLUTION NO. 2024- 08 ---
A RESOLUTION TO PETITION
THE OZAUKEE COUNTY HIGHWAY COMMISSIONER
FOR COUNTY AID PURSUANT TO WIS. STAT. § 82.08
RECITALS
1. Wis. Stat.§ 82.08(1) provides in part that "[a] town that has voted to ... repair any
bridge or culvert that is on ... an existing highway maintained by the town may file
a petition for county aid with the county highway commissioner. The petition shall
describe the location and size of the bridge or culvert and shall contain a
statement that the town has provided the funds required by [Wis. Stat. §
82.08(3).)
2. Wis. Stat. § 82.08(3) provides that the Town and County shall each pay one-half
of the cost of construction.
3. The Town has voted to repair the following bridge on Cedar Sauk Road:
( Wis-DOT Bridge ID P45-0907 )
4. The above-identified bridge is deficient and requires replacement. Reconstruction
has been scheduled for 2028.
5. The Town anticipates that 80% of the total cost will be paid for by a Wisconsin
Department of Transportation grant. The remaining 20% is the Town's
responsibility. Therefore, this petition is for 50% of the Town's responsibility, i.e.,
10% of the total cost.
6. The total anticipated project cost is [$790,500.) Therefore, the Town's total
responsibility is [$158,900), and the County's responsibility under this Petition
would be [$79,450.)
THEREFORE, the Town Board of the Town of Saukville does hereby resolve and hereby
petitions the Ozaukee County Highway Commissioner pursuant to Wis. Stat. § 82.08(1)
for county aid in reconstructing the above-described bridge on Cedar Sauk Road in the

Agenda Item Information Sheet
To: PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE
From: Jon Edgren, Public Works Director
Meeting Date: February 19, 2026
Department/Office: Highway Department
Item Name: Resolution: Ozaukee County Rural Area Functional Classification Updates
Summary:
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) Planning Section notified Ozaukee County that they update
the classification of roadways every ten years following the release of decennial census data. Due to the new census
data and recently updated urban area boundaries, it is necessary to review the functional classification of roadways
within the rurally designated areas of Ozaukee County.
WisDOT provided a map and spreadsheet (attached) that summarizes the changes that WisDOT is proposing for
Ozaukee County.
Additionally, they are requesting a resolution to show that the County is aware of and had input on the changes
when the finalized information is submitted to the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) as part of requesting
the update.
ANALYSIS:
The three (3) proposed updates to the functional classification map are as follows:
1. STH 60 from Washington County Line to I-43 upgraded from Minor Arterial to Principal Arterial
2. CTH NN from Washington County Line to STH 60 upgraded from Major Collector to Minor Arterial
3. CTH I from Cedar Sauk Road to STH 33 upgraded from Major Collector to Minor Arterial
Highway Department staff have no concerns with the updates and recommend approval as higher rated roadways
tend to have more grant funding available.
Recommended Action:
Approve WisDOT’s Functional Classification updates and resolution, and forward to the
Ozaukee County Board for approval.

Agenda Item Information Sheet
To: PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE
From:
Meeting Date: February 19, 2026
Department/Office: Dept of Administration
Item Name: Resolution: Urging the Governor of Wisconsin and the State Legislature to Enact a Comprehensive,
Sustainable Transportation Funding Solution
Summary:
Purpose
The Wisconsin Counties Association (WCA) has initiated a statewide effort encouraging counties to adopt a
resolution urging state policymakers to establish a sustainable long-term funding solution for Wisconsin’s
Transportation Fund.
The purpose of this memo is to provide background and recommend that the Ozaukee County Board consider
adopting the model resolution.
Background
On January 12, 2026, WCA launched the first phase of a coordinated, multi-step campaign focused on addressing
the structural imbalance within the state’s Segregated Transportation Fund.
Transportation funding to local governments—including counties—is derived primarily from user fees (e.g., fuel
taxes, registration fees), which are deposited into the segregated fund and distributed through programs such as:
• General Transportation Aids (GTA)
• Local Road Improvement Program (LRIP)
• Local Road Improvement Program – Supplemental (LRIP-S)
• Agricultural Road Improvement Program (ARIP)
• Bridge replacement and rehabilitation funding for 6–20 foot structures
In recent biennia, expenditures from the Transportation Fund have exceeded revenue generated from transportation-
related user fees. To address this gap—now exceeding $1 billion—state policymakers have transferred General
Purpose Revenue (primarily income and sales tax dollars) into the Transportation Fund.
While these transfers have allowed for continued investment in local transportation programs, they are dependent on
the availability of state budget surpluses. Absent structural reform or a sustainable revenue model, continued
funding at current levels is uncertain.
Why This Matters to Ozaukee County
Transportation infrastructure is foundational to:
• Public safety
• Economic development
• Agricultural commerce
• Daily mobility for residents
• Preservation of long-term asset value
Programs such as GTA, LRIP, ARIP, and bridge funding directly support the County’s ability to maintain roadways
and structures without placing disproportionate pressure on local property taxpayers.
Recent increases in these programs have been beneficial; however, those gains are vulnerable if the underlying
Page 44 of 56
funding imbalance is not addressed.
In short, we are currently benefiting from a funding model that relies on temporary fiscal conditions rather than
structural stability. That is not a long-term strategy.
The Proposed Resolution
The WCA model resolution:
• Does not prescribe a specific funding mechanism.
• Does not advocate for a particular tax or fee increase.
• Simply urges state lawmakers and future governors to adopt a sustainable solution to the Transportation
Fund deficit in the next state budget.
This approach maintains local neutrality regarding policy tools while clearly signaling that the issue requires action.
Recommended Action:
Staff respectfully requests that the committee approve the resolution.

WHEREAS, local units of government in Wisconsin own and maintain approximately
90% of the public road miles in the state, including county highways, town roads, and city and
village streets; and
WHEREAS, Wisconsin’s economy—rooted in agriculture, manufacturing, and tourism—
relies on a safe, reliable, and well-maintained transportation network; and
WHEREAS, local governments greatly appreciate the one-time infusions of General
Purpose Revenue, primarily sales and income taxes, and other revenue provided in recent state
budgets, which have enabled the initiation and continuation of the successful and popular Local
Roads Improvement Program Supplemental (LRIP-S) and Agricultural Roads Improvement
Program (ARIP); and
WHEREAS, despite modest increases from the state over the years, transportation aids to
local governments remain insufficient to keep pace with inflation and rising construction costs,
leaving many communities funded below 2000 levels in real dollars; and
WHEREAS, local governments throughout Wisconsin continue to struggle to perform
even routine maintenance, pavement preservation, and safety improvements, resulting in
deteriorating roads and bridges; and
WHEREAS, the inaugural inventory and assessment of small bridges between 6 to 20
feet found about 10% of the nearly 17,000 structures to be in poor or severe condition; and
WHEREAS, levy limits and other fiscal constraints prevent local governments from
independently filling the funding gap created by inadequate state transportation aids; and
WHEREAS, absent sustainable state funding, many communities have been forced to
address their shortfalls by significantly increasing borrowing, deferring essential projects, or
imposing local vehicle registration (“wheel”) taxes; and
WHEREAS, Wisconsin motorists currently pay among the lowest transportation user
fees in the Midwest, while neighboring states and dozens of others nationwide have enacted
long-term revenue measures to keep their transportation systems competitive; and
WHEREAS, Wisconsin is increasingly relying on General Purpose Revenues to make
needed investments, potentially pitting transportation against other vital services, such as
education; and
WHEREAS, continued lack of growing, dedicated, and predictable revenue places
Wisconsin at a growing economic disadvantage by threatening the efficiency of freight
movement, the safety of travelers, and the attractiveness of our state to businesses and residents;
and
Page 46 of 56
WHEREAS, both Wisconsin’s aging Interstate highway system—largely constructed in
the 1950s and 1960s—and our extensive network of state and local roads require predictable,
adequate, and sustainable funding to meet current and future needs;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Ozaukee County Board of
Supervisors strongly urges the Governor of Wisconsin and the State Legislature to enact a
comprehensive, sustainable transportation funding solution that:
1. Provides adequate and reliable revenue growth for the efficient long-term
planning and execution of state and local transportation programs;
2. Includes responsible and prudent use of General Purpose Revenue and bonding;
3. Adjusts any new and existing transportation user fees and other revenue
mechanisms to sustain purchasing power in order to maintain and improve
Wisconsin’s transportation infrastructure; and
4. Ensures transportation continues to deliver for Wisconsin by adequately funding
reconstruction, preservation, and safety investments on the state and local
systems.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the clerk is hereby directed to transmit a copy of this
resolution to the Governor’s office, all members of the Wisconsin State Senate and Assembly
representing districts within Ozaukee County, and the Wisconsin Counties Association.
Dated, at Port Washington, Wisconsin this 4th day of March, 2026.
SUMMARY: Urging the Governor of Wisconsin and the State Legislature to enact a
comprehensive, sustainable transportation funding solution.

Item: 8.b.1.
Agenda Item Information Sheet
To: PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE
From: Jon Edgren, Public Works Director
Meeting Date: February 19, 2026
Department/Office: Highway Department
Item Name: We Energies Easement at Justice Center
Summary:
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
Hollander Chocolate Company, located at 1180 South Spring Street which is across from the Justice Center Soccer
Fields, has requested a large electrical service upgrade from We Energies for an Electric Vehicle (EV) Charging
system.
The EV Charging system would require a significant electrical upgrade, so We Energies is reviewing potential
options to bring 24.9Kv voltage to Hollander Chocolate, which currently only has access to the 8Kv electrical
distribution system. Attached is their proposed route.
We Energies is considering a couple alternatives, but this route seems best for electrical distribution planning, future
usage, extensions, etc…, according to a We Energies representative.
Therefore, We Energies is asking for input from Ozaukee County if we would consider an easement, outside the
road right-of-way, on Ozaukee County property.
ANALYSIS:
Public Works Director Edgren doesn’t have any concerns with the potential easement as we don’t anticipate any
long-term development of the soccer field area due to the proximity to the Justice Center, and the easement would
be abutting the road right-of-way.
Recommended Action:
