RESOLUTION # 019-2012
RESOLUTION TO DELAY ACTION
APPROVED IN RESOLUTION #003-2012
AND DIRECTION TO THE PARKS & RECREATION BOARD TO
DEVELOP A PARK PLAN WITH DEVELOPMENT & MAINTENANCE COSTS
WHEREAS, On January 24, 2012, the Common Council adopted Resolution #003-2012
entitled “Offer to Purchase - Lake Properties”; and
WHEREAS, Since adoption of the resolution circumstances have changed, a petition for
direct legislation, although not a proper subject matter for direct legislation, has been
received, and there is, as well, public interest for additional information regarding the
proposed purchase and park development; and
WHEREAS, Due to these circumstances, continued action regarding Resolution #003-
2012 should be delayed allowing the Parks and Recreation Board to involve the public
in creating a development plan with associated costs through public informational and
stakeholder meetings, and ultimately a recommendation to the Common Council.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Common Council of the City of
Muskego does hereby direct the Mayor not to act pursuant to the authorization set forth
in Resolution #003-2012 until September 30, 2012, and the May 31, 2012 deadline
described therein is hereby extended to September 30, 2012, unless extended or
modified by further action of the Common Council.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Common Council authorizes expenditure of up to
$40,000, allocated from the Capital Borrowing Fund, financed from a Landfill Fund
transfer, for consulting and other related costs for a park development plan and
associated costs.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the money allocated authorizes city staff to circulate
and approve a Request for Proposal for a consultant to bring forward park site plan
alternatives, park development cost estimates, and cost estimates for future park
maintenance.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that it will be the Parks and Recreation Board’s
responsibility to work with the consultant in the park development plan process and
ultimately provide a recommendation to the Common Council on a proposed site plan,
park development cost estimates, and future maintenance cost estimates.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that it will be the Parks and Recreation Board’s
responsibility to allow the public to be involved during the planning process by including
public information meetings where public opinion is heard on the park development plan
proposals, and also by holding one or more stakeholder meeting(s), with notice being
provided to the following groups/organizations, and each being given an opportunity to
provide a representative:
Bay Breeze Condominium Association
Muskego Proud
Muskego for Ethical Government
Muskego Historical Society
Little Muskego Lake District or Little Muskego Lake Association
Muskego Chamber/Business Representative
Adjacent Property Owners
Citizen At Large
Along with such other representatives as the Park and Recreation Board may
determine
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Parks and Recreation Board shall provide its
recommendation to the Common Council on a proposed site plan, park development
cost estimates, and future maintenance cost estimates, prior to the Common Council’s
September 25, 2012 meeting date (a date that coincides with the 2013 budget process),
and upon receiving such recommendation the Common Council will convene to approve
or deny moving forward with the land purchase approvals from Resolution #003-2012.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that it is not the intention of the City of Muskego to utilize
actual condemnation for the purchase of the properties, as described in the Resolution
of Necessity #142-2011, and if it becomes apparent that a willing seller/willing buyer
purchase agreement cannot be made between the parties, this matter shall be referred
back to Council for further consideration.
