Village Board Meeting in Review
At the May 16, 2023 Board meeting the Board approved the following items:

  • To seek quotes for the replacement of the Village Board room A/V equipment.  Some of the existing audio equipment is failing.
  • The Village President's recommended appointments to the various Board and Committees.
  • A special event permit for the Bike Safety and Touch-a-truck event.
  • The 6th amendment to the development agreement for the former Boston Store site.  This amendment will provide an extension for the developer to provide a written notice of objections, since the Village is awaiting approvals on the amended operating agreement at Southridge Mal

Announcements:

Recycling Center Construction: Beginning April 26th there will be some changes to the drop-off location for some items as they prepare for construction.  Construction will take place on the west portion of the recycling center.  All services provided will still be available, but might be in a new temporary location.  The current yard waste pile, e-waste and television drop off locations have been temporarily relocated.  Please be patient and expect a longer wait due to the construction.  The anticipated completion date for this project is the end of June.  Thank you for your patience and understanding during this time, and please reach out to the Department of Public Works with any questions or concerns.

Complete Communities Transportation Planning Project: Milwaukee County is hosting public engagement meetings throughout the County this summer to gain input for its "Complete Communities Transportation Planning Project".
