Nothing VILLAGE STAFF REPORTS: VILLAGE ADMINISTRATOR’S REPORT. Erickson’s administrator report was included in the packet, but he wanted to discuss several items that were not included and had just recently occurred. 1. Developers Agreement. Curt reported that a signed developer’s agreement has been received for Lot 60 on Emily Road, where a four-unit building will be proposed. The contractor was advised to work with Statz, Public Works Director, regarding utility connections. Walter Crossing received occupancy approval for the five-unit building on Sunday, and residents have started to move in. It was also discussed that a Plan Commission meeting will be scheduled with the Looyes regarding the progress of the project. At a previous Plan Commission meeting, it was determined that both units must be completed by the end of June 2026 to avoid full payment for the lot. Erickson further noted that, as the Village continues working through additional developer’s agreements and with the a ddition of a Village Planner and increased involvement from the Village Engineer, the current $7,500 developers’ agreement fee may be too low and should be considered for an increase. 2. Dane County Sheriff Deputy Vacancy. Erickson noted that interviews were conducted on Monday with three candidates. Unfortunately, the Village of Mazomanie and the Village of Black Earth likely will not see the individual on the schedule until January 2027, as the candidate must first complete a six-month mini academy program, which is only offered twice per year. 3. Sewer Rates. Curt noted that he included Town & County Engineering’s Rate Study Summary which broke down the rate steps in 3 steps. He thought about including at the next board meeting a summary with adding 2 additional steps to the study into 4 or 5 steps to “lesson the blow” to the residents. 4. Annexation. Erickson gave the board an informational packet on the annexation process as the Village may be pursuing annexation in the near future for the Dane Iowa Wastewater Facility water line connection.
