New Business
Discussion & necessary action re: Lannon Stone water expansion project update
Strand Engineer Ben Wood gave a presentation to the Committee on two options for water expansion
on the southeast corner of the Village. The first option presented was obtaining water service from the
Village of Sussex. Mr. Wood provided detailed informati on on the PSC requirements, looping options,
and process timelines from engineering, through to construction. The benefits of utilizing Sussex as a
retailer for water is the Village already has agreements that can be amended, and a draft MOU
document has already been created and reviewed by both community’s attorneys.
Mr. Wood reviewed a second option, having the City of Pewaukee provide retail water service to a
section of the Village. The challenges presented with this option include: 1. Pewaukee is unable to
provide water to the entire area in question (only as north as HWY K) ; 2. Pewaukee currently does not
provide water to the Village and would require a PSC application; 3. a new agreement would need to
be created between the communities; 4. the city is considering transitioning to Lake Michigan water
which could present challenges later.
Administrator Green explained that staff are looking for a recommendation to the Village board on
which option to move forward with, so the Village can start public information meetings, and getting
the engineering and design contract initiated with Strand.
Motion by Eberle, second by Beal, to recommend to the Village Board to pursue negotiations with
Sussex being the preferred supplier and proceed with Strand preparing an amendment for final design
and bidding. Motion carried 4-0 with Jane Mueller abstaining.
Trustee Moonen was excused from the meeting at 5:50 pm, at which time Trustee Beal chaired the
meeting.
Discussion & necessary action re: potential replacement of WAM mowers with zero-turn mowers.
Director Wilichowski explained the benefits of using three zero turn mowers would be more efficient for
seasonal employees to utilize for mowing parks. He proposed selling the John Deere WAM and the Toro
front mower and purchasing three zero turn mowers.

Motion by Mueller, second by Chmiel, to approve replacing WAM mowers with zero turn mowers .
Motion carried unanimously.
Discussion & necessary action re: mowing retention ponds
Administrator Green explained staff is working with the engineer to get a list of all retention ponds and
the owners. They need to determine which HOAs are still in existence. If HOAs are dissolved, they will
determine if those ponds are owned by a share o f the property owners in the subdivision, and if there
are any owned by the Village. They will also need to look at any stormwater maintenance agreements
that would have been recorded. The committee discussed putting money into the budget for this type
of work, for next year. No action was taken. The committee requested this be kept on the agenda for
future meetings.
Discussion only re: sewer utility costs for facility upgrades.
Trustee Beal stated that as a sewer customer, she has concerns about the amount of money being
spent from the Utility fund, due to facility upgrades that were required by the Village of Sussex. She
explained that when the Village took over for the sewer district, there was $1,150,000 in the fund, and
that has been depleted to half of that amount. She also expressed concern that the current users are
paying for facility upgrades that will be to the benefit of potential new customers hooking into the
system.
Items to be Placed on a Future Agenda
Joe Eberle requested putting on the agenda petitioning Waukesha County to reduce the speed limit
on CTH VV, from 164 to Lake Five, to 45 mph. No additional topics were requested.
Adjournment
There being no further business, motion by Mueller, second by Chmiel, to adjourn the meeting at 6:23
p.m.
Respectfully submitted,
Daniel Green
