NEW BUSINESS
Discussion Relating to the Formation of a Lake District for Lake Denoon
City Attorney Warchol stated that a quorum of the Committee was present. However, if
Alderman Kubacki abstains, there isn't a quorum for voting purposes.
The City Attorney gave a brief overview regarding the process. The Lake Denoon residents
prepared a petition for the formation of a lake district. Some City property is included in the
district boundaries. The Common Council will have to adopt a resolution, which would approve
the City property being in the district.
Mayor Chiaverotti stated that there are internal concerns about the existing lake districts.
There is no consistency. She believes research should be done before the Committee makes
a recommendation to form a new one.
Alderman Kubacki asked if the City property could be taken out of the district. Attorney
Warchol responded yes. If that occurs, no approval from the City would be necessary. The
petition would go directly to Waukesha County. Alderman Kubacki stated the reason there is
interest in forming a district is there would be eligibility for grants. It also equitably distributes
the cost of lake maintenance.
Alderman Wolfe moved to defer. Alderman Engelhardt seconded; motion carried.
ADJOURNMENT
Alderman Wolfe made a motion to adjourn at 6:54 p.m. Alderman Kubacki seconded;
motion carried.
