Public Comments
James Toshner, N58 W25740 Fox Hollow Drive, James Toshner from Fox Hollow Drive addressed the
Board to advocate for expanded golf cart use. Living near the new October Fields development, he
noted a surge in traffic, especially golf carts, in evenings. He and his wife started looking into buying a
golf cart and learned from Administrator Green and a Board member that while ATVs are legal on
roads, golf carts aren't. He observed three golf carts on Village roads just that evening. Toshner
emphasized the popu larity of golf carts, noting the rapid resale of used ones. Believing nearby
Delafield allows them, he suggested the Board officially authorize their use, backed by 23 resident
signatures supporting the proposal.
President Gehrke thanked Mr. Toshner for his comments and noted that some Board members had
already been in contact with him on the matter. He encouraged Mr. Toshner to remain in contact and
assured him the Board would communicate how it intended to move f orward.

Announcements/Correspondence

Administrator Report
Administrator Green gave a brief update on current Village projects and departments.
New Business
A. Discussion & necessary action re: selection process for new building inspector
Administrator Green sought direction on proceeding with interviews of the two candidates or
exploring alternative selection processes. Trustee Beal suggested looking beyond the current
candidates, noting the existing inspector may be willing to extend his tenure upon request .
Administrator Green proposed options including a formal Request for Proposals (RFP) with wide
distribution, direct outreach to known inspection firms, or a multi -jurisdictional inspection
arrangement, noting some firms hadn't submitted past proposals. Tr ustee Moonen expressed
dissatisfaction with the proposals, noting limitations like one candidate's limited availability and
supported a multi -jurisdictional approach for more equitable cost -sharing. He recommended a
broader RFP process to attract more cand idates. Trustee Baum suggested considering an in -
house inspector based at the Village’s facilities. Administrator Green acknowledged this as
possible but complicated, citing the need for certifications, coverage for absences, insurance, and
a vehicle. Trustee Beal expressed hesitance with this option, while President Gehrke noted its prior
discussions and the benefits of a multi -jurisdictional model. Trustee Moonen requested that staff
obtain current insurance cost estimates so that the in -house option could be properly evaluated
and not prematurely excluded.
The Board reached a general consensus — without formal action — to direct Administrator Green
to pursue a broader, more formal outreach and RFP process, while also continuing to explore the
multi-jurisdictional consolidated inspection model as a longer-term solution.
B. Discussion & necessary action re: ORD 2026-09 Authorizing withdrawls from Village Treasury
Administrator Green explained the origin and purpose of the ordinance. He stated that following
the departure of the previous Treasurer, it became apparent that the Village lacked a clear,
codified policy outlining the chain of authority for accessing Vill age funds in the absence of the
Treasurer or Village Administrator. The Village Attorney reviewed the matter and drafted Ordinance

2026-09 as an amendment to Chapter 2 of the Village code to formalize those authorities and
ensure continuity of operations — specifically enabling the Deputy Treasurer to make payments
and keep essential obligations current.
Motion by Moonen, second by Baum, to approve Ordinance 2026-09 authorizing withdrawals from
the Village Treasury, with the amendment to add the word "Treasurer" to Section 1(b) to specify the
Deputy Treasurer. Motion carried unanimously.
C. Discussion & necessary action re: Parkitecture contract for Park Improvements Project
President Gehrke introduced the item, noting that action was needed due to an increase in the
Parkitecture contract, now $239, 660, driven by an expanded project scope from $2,000,000 to
$4,000,000. Administrator Green confirmed the increase was less than anticipated. Trustee
Moonen agreed, mentioning initial expectations of a 10% increase were overshot. Concerns were
raised over t he lack of specific completion dates and performance assurances. Green
acknowledged some project elements might extend into 2028 due to material or scheduling issues
but aimed for a 2027 completion. Bidding timing was debated; Gehrke and Moonen recalled
discussions about early spring or winter bid cycles. Beal desired an earlier bid cycle, aligning with
intentions to schedule work before spring. Gehrke clarified the contract focused on architectural
services, with construction timelines detailed later. The project budget exceeded $200,000 by
$39,000-$60,000, but Green noted initial figures lacked precise scope understanding. Moonen
inquired if plan review fees were included in the ceiling; Green confirmed they were. The Board
agreed to the contract, emphasizing a 2027 completion, early bidding, and contract sureties, with
Beal departing at 7:03p.m. due to prior obligations.
After additional discussion regarding details, motion by Baum, second by Moonen, to approve the
contract with Parkitecture for an amount not to exceed $239,660.00 . Motion carried 3:0.
Adjournment
There being no further business, motion by Baum, second by Moonen, to adjourn the meeting at
7:15p.m.
Respectfully submitted,
Elisa M. Cappozzo, WCMC
