OLD BUSINESS
NEW BUSINESS
Update on Park Vandalism 2019, Park Improvements 2019 & Park Improvements 2020
Director Kroeger reviewed his full memo with the Committee. He stated the Moorland Park
cameras will be installed in November. Ald. Engelhardt and Ms. Blair were questioning the
types of Parks signage. Director Kroeger stated the new signs will be little to no maintenance.
Chairman Whipple asked if the drainage on Park Arthur Field #4 was not installed properly.
Director Kroeger stated the fine grading was done incorrectly and the field remains wet for up
to a week after a rainfall. The work on Field #4 will cost approximately $300,000 and is
scheduled to begin the third week of July 2020. All of the Muskego baseball leagues are in
agreement that this must be completed. Ms. Boyer asked about an outfield light that goes on
and off. Manager Dunn explained this was a breaker issue that has been replaced. Ms. Blair
asked why it will take so many years to install cameras throughout the Parks. Manager Dunn
explained the need for clear streaming video, police/court access if needed and the cost for
electrical.

Director Kroger presented a 2020 meeting schedule to help with everyone’s personal
schedules, City budgets, and Capital projects. He also stated additional meetings can still be
scheduled as needed throughout the year. Ms. Schroeder reminded the Committee that the
meetings cannot be on Election dates.

Motion was approved unanimously.
Request to Host Beer Garden at Veterans Memorial Park in 2020
Director Kroeger asked the Committee for approval to send out a Request for Proposal in
November or December for the 2020 Beer Garden. This proposal will be a bit more flexible as
far as rain dates to include a minimum of six events and a max of ten events. He also
explained a new State Statute that requires a daily flat rate fee only, not a percentage of sales
as we have done in previous years. The City will charge an average based on sales from
2018 and 2019.
Mr. Miller made a motion to approve the Request to Host a Beer Garden in 2020.
Seconded by Ms. Schroeder. Motion was approved unanimously.
