DERMEN OF THE CITY OF MUSKEG0
FROM: MAYOR JEROME J. GOTTFRIED
Gentlemen .
On June 27, 1978, your honorable body adopted Resolution #134-78
ments in the city to July 1, 1979. We have already reviewed together
and Resolution #135-78 which extended the moratorium on major develop-
my thoughts on the matter which were presented in my memorandum to you
dated June 19, 1978, and I see no purpose in repeating those concerns
on all the citizens of the city I have decided to exercise my right
to you. However, because I feel your decision will have a major impact

to veto in order that you can have one more opportunity to consider the
There is no question in my mind that we all agree some specific
action will have to be taken, not only to reduce the potential of
hydraulic loading in our sewer system, but to meet the new quality
standards which are being required by the DNR for 1979 implementation.
If this is true then we must be prepared to implement the recommendations
which our consulting firm, Ruekert & Mielke, will be giving us in
September or October of this year. If we consider the length of time
it takes for a major development to have any impact on the city it
would probably be 1980 or even 1981 before a development approved by
the city in 1978 is completed. Or, to put it another way, if no major
development were approved until the moratorium is lifted in 1979,
there would be very little, if any, growth in the city until 1981 or
probably 1982.
An example of the time it takes for a development to materialize
is Marlan Meadows. The developers first appeared before the Plan
Commission on August 2, 1977, and it appears there will be no resid-
ential development started until late 1979 which means that any tax
advantages we would gain from that development would not be felt
until 1981.
The point I am trying to make is that since we are committed to
increasing the capacity of our treatment facilities the extending
made we could be judiciously approving developments which are good for
of the moratorium is meaningless. While these improvements are being
the city so that when they connect to our sewage treatment facilities
there would be no question over the capability of our sewage system
adequately treating the additional sewage generated from those develop-
ments.
a reasonably low tax rate and sound financial condition has been
partially because of a well managed rate of growth. A two or three
year period of practically no growth would seriously endanger our
ability to manage the city properly and still maintain a relatively
low tax rate and would also endanger our financial stability.
As I have pointed out to you previously, our ability to maintain
I seriously believe that the majority of'your honorable body
must be taken. I therefore contend that another year long moratorium,
understands my concerns and agrees with me that some specific action
in spite of the possibility of some development in the Lake Denoon
area, is not needed nor is it in the best interest of the city and I
respectfully request that you sustain my veto of Resolutions #134-78
and #135-78. px+ City of Muskego
