Village Board Minutes August 12, 2026 Page 2 of 4 Office: (262) 246-6100 | Email: VillageHall@LisbonWI.gov | Website: www.LisbonWI.gov Administrator Report Administrator Green gave a brief update on current Village projects and departments. New Business A. Discussion & necessary action re: Lannon Stone water expansion project President Gehrke introduced the topic, seeking insights from Administrator Green, with Ben Wood from Strand Associates and Nate Swinton from Lannon Stone present for technical queries. Green explained that the Village evaluated two water supply options for Townline Road and south of Highway K: Sussex and Pewaukee. The Public Works Committee extensively reviewed these, finding Sussex to be the best long-term choice due to existing relationships and infrastructure benefits, prompting a unanimous recommendation. Sussex's plan includes an emergency interconnection with Pewaukee, pending state review. There was also discussion on water main routes and customer recovery plans if Lisbon develops its own utility. Ben Wood stressed the immediate need to authorize the final design to maintain project timelines, with Strand Associates starting final design and other related actions proceeding. The project costs, including Strand's fees up to $413,000, are to be fully covered by the Lannon Stone quarry fund, which amounts to an estimated $13 to $15 million with a contingency cushion. Amendment No. 1 to the contract involves an increase for final design without adding external costs due to public involvement activities already included. Water pressure adjustments for homes transitioning from wells to municipal water were discussed; adequate water pressure is expected and pressure management is part of the public info campaign. Motion by Moonen, second by Beal, to proceed with the Village's preferred water supplier (Village of Sussex) based on the recommendation of the Public Works Committee, proceed with the presented schedule, and approve Amendment No. 1 to the technical servic es contract with Strand Associates striking items 8 and 9. Motion carried unanimously. B. Discussion & necessary action re: replacing WAM mowers with zero-turn mowers Trustee Moonen, discussing on behalf of the Public Works Committee, credited staff members Nick and Mike for their research on replacing Wide Area Mowers (WAMs) with commercial zero -turn mowers. The main challenge with current WAMs is that only one full -time parks employee can transport them due to CDL requirements, limiting efficiency. Zero -turn mowers are faster, more maneuverable, and offer a narrower yet effective cutting capability. They cost significantly less; while a 2020 WAM cost $67,000, the proposed zero-turn is $17,000 each. They're easier to maintain, require smaller trailers, and save on storage space. Testing showed Ferris units were superior in ride quality and cut. Purchasing three units allows operational flexibility and coverage for mainte nance needs. They plan to allocate one to the highway department for additional mowing support. The estimated total is $52,311, expecting $35,000 to $50,000 from the sale of existing equipment. The transition may involve minor additional costs. Motion by Moonen, second by Baum, to approve the purchase of three commercial Ferris zero -turn mowers with 72-inch decks at an estimated cost not to exceed $52,311. Motion carried unanimously. Village Board Minutes August 12, 2026 Page 3 of 4 Office: (262) 246-6100 | Email: VillageHall@LisbonWI.gov | Website: www.LisbonWI.gov C. Discussion & necessary action re: set 2027 Budget Workshop dates Administrator Green requested Board availability for one or two Budget Workshop meetings to review priorities for the 2027 budget. Workshops were scheduled for 9/30 at 6:00pm with Department Heads, and a secondary workshop following the 10/14 Village Board meeting. The 10/14 meeting would then be moved up to 6:00 rather than 6:30pm start time. No formal action was taken. D. Discussion only re: maintenance and service of Grinder Pumps Trustee Beal summarized grinder pump issues, highlighting that about 32 of the village's 452 sewer - connected homes have district-paid pump replacements—a practice ongoing since 1989 without prior public discussion. These costs, since 2023 reaching $64,899. 28, exclude labor and are rising. Referencing other communities where homeowners pay for their grinder pumps, Beal expressed the need to shift costs away from the district. The Public Works Committee previously recommended, inefficaciously, that homeowners assume this burden. Legal counsel noted discrepancies in current village obligations, advising the codification of clear rules with a 2020 cutoff for district responsibility — pumps installed after must be homeowner-paid. The code flaw of indefinite obligations was noted, and it was announced 21-22 pumps remain pre-2020. The Board collectively deemed the language needed correction. President Gehrke proposed a 2028 sunset on obligations with negligent damage not covered. Relined with lawyer advice, an amendme nt was ordered for a subsequent Board meeting, setting the cutoff as suggested and adding a sunset clause. No formal action was taken. E. Discussion only re: Village responsibility for various Sewer Utility costs Fire Station Sewer Costs Trustee Beal reported that the sewer fund has been financing a portion of the fire station's sewer - related costs, split 35/65 with the district. She argued these should be covered by the Village's general fund or the fire department budget, not sewer ratep ayers. Administrator Green added that for 2026, $1,643.05 was wrongly charged to the sewer fund. He has budgeted $3,000 in 2027 for these proper allocations. Improper costs will be verified. The Board agreed future costs will be covered by the Village's general fund; no adjustments for 2025 or earlier years would be sought since they're closed. No action taken. Sussex Plant Upgrade and Sewer Fund Reserves Trustee Beal voiced concerns over the sewer fund being depleted by $824,000 -$825,000 for Sussex plant upgrades, potentially leaving inadequate funds for emergency repairs. The expenditure benefits future users as well as current ratepayers. Administrator G reen explained the use of reserves was chosen over borrowing for this upgrade. Future connection and impact fees from new users will replenish reserves. Comparably, sewer fund fees will address systematic failures, ensuring all users share costs. Green ass ured that strategic fee structures will build reserves and a revised sewer code will address connection costs. No action taken. Unfinished Business A. Discussion & necessary action re: replacement plan for Engine 30 Village Board Minutes August 12, 2026 Page 4 of 4 Office: (262) 246-6100 | Email: VillageHall@LisbonWI.gov | Website: www.LisbonWI.gov Administrator Green introduced the item, mentioning that Engine 30's repair history, a 54 -page PDF, was electronically shared with the Board. Discussions with fire command cited a roughly 12 -year replacement cycle for the fire engine, with a 13-year cycle being the planning target if discussions start now. While not seeking authorization to buy a replacement, Green requested approval to start working with the fire apparatus committee on specifications, as current fire engine deliveries take two to three years post -order. A $200,000+ annual sinking fund is already in place for replacements. President Gehrke and the Board agreed on planning a replacement but highlighted the need to discuss Engine 30's current frequent, concerning use in Pewaukee, largely for a mbulance-like calls, before any commitment is made. Trustee Moonen asked about the fire apparatus committee's setup, which includes Pewaukee’s Deputy and Fire Chiefs, Mr. Doug Brown as a Village representative, and Administrator Green. It was suggested that Trustee Baum might provide better fiscal oversight than Mr. Brown, due to his fire department ties, and the committee’s composition should be re-evaluated at the next meeting. Motion by Baum, second by Moonen, to authorize the Village Administrator to begin coordinating with the fire apparatus team to initiate the fire truck configuration and specification process. Motion carried unanimously. Adjournment There being no further business, motion by Quinn, second by Baum, to adjourn the meeting at 8:49p.m. Respectfully submitted, Elisa M. Cappozzo, WCMC Lisbon Village Clerk
